It has been a long time coming, but Amorim’s day is officially here. Indeed, the Portuguese coach is now ready to take on the challenge of being the new Milan coach and he knows what it means. Indeed, he has been waiting for this moment.

Amorim arrives
As he landed in Milano, he was intercepted by journalists, who discussed his new club and his aims, as Luca Maninetti captured and can be seen below. His comments have been relayed by MilanNews.
“I’m truly happy to be here. It’s an honour to be AC Milan’s coach.”
Why did you choose Milan?
“If you see an old interview of mine, I said this is a special club for me. It’s a great challenge. After the last time [at Manchester United] I told myself to choose less demanding challenges, and yet here I am [he laughs], it’s an even bigger challenge.
“But I’m proud to be here, now I want to work with my staff and my players… I’m really happy to be here.”
Ruben, are you in Milan to win?
“You can’t come to Milan without this mentality. We have a lot to do, but if you’re the coach of Milan, you have to play to win.”
Certainly the right words for an opening greeting! Welcome to Milan, Ruben!
