Ruben Amorim has agreed to become AC Milan manager 6 months after leaving Manchester United.
The Rossoneri are looking to reshape their technical staff after parting ways with Max Allegri following a disappointing fifth-place finish and their first move is to hire Amorim ahead of the new campaign.
Amorim was dismissed from Old Trafford hotseat in January after launching a public attack on the club’s hierarchy following a 1-1 draw at Leeds United.
Now, he is set to return to management as he draws closer to taking over Italian giants AC Milan according to Fabrizio Romano.
“BREAKING: Rúben Amorim to AC Milan as new head coach, HERE WE GO!
“Verbal agreement done on deal valid until June 2028 plus option until June 2029.
“Amorim has accepted all conditions and will sign this week as new Milan manager.”
The good news for the Red Devils is that ESPN reports that club accounts released in February revealed United have "a provision of £15.9m" relating to money owed to Amorim and his coaching staff after he was sacked.
However, if Amorim takes a new job then the club would not have to pay the maximum for the Portuguese tactician which is great news ahead of the summer transfer window as funds are freed up.
United and AC Milan are ae scheduled to meet in a pre-season friendly on August 15th in Wroclaw, Poland in what could be an interesting reunion.
