AC Milan coach Ruben Amorim is set to meet with owner Gerry Cardinale following a 2-0 home defeat to Benfica in the Europa League on September 16, 2026. This loss marks Amorim's first competitive defeat since his appointment, and it has raised questions about the team's recent performances, including back-to-back draws in Serie A.
