AC Milan nearing appointment of Ruben Amorim as new head coach

Summary

AC Milan is set to appoint Ruben Amorim as head coach starting July, following Massimiliano Allegri's departure after the 2025-26 season. The decision comes amid a total revamp of the club's front office after the team failed to secure a Champions League spot. AC Milan's ownership under RedBird and Gerry Cardinale opted for Amorim after talks with several candidates, including Mauricio Pochettino and Oliver Glasner. Pochettino's potential signing was complicated due to ties with former Barcelona director Ramon Planes, whose candidacy has since been dropped. Amorim will lead amidst ongoing changes at the club, aiming to bring stability after frequent managerial changes.
