MN: Amorim brings ‘most trusted’ staff to Milan with him – the five who arrive with him

With a new head coach arriving, it is uncommon for them not to bring in people they trust. With AC Milan and Ruben Amorim, it is no different.

There has been plenty of talk in the past 12 months about the importance of coaches. In fact, without Massimiliano Allegri and his goalkeeper coach, Claudio Filippi, Mike Maignan probably wouldn’t have renewed his deal.

Yes, it is really that important.

It is also vital to have people around you who know what methods you are going to employ. Of course, others can pick it up. However, you need people around who are able to best translate your ideas onto the training pitches.

Amorim’s staff

At Milanello, then, there will be six new arrivals, it seems. Of course, Amorim is one of those, but he will not be alone, as MilanNews reports. Instead, he will bring five of his ‘most trusted men’, which he will rely on.

Indeed, Carlos Fernandes, an assistant coach who specialises in attacking movements, will be joined by two technical assistants, Emanuel Ferro and Adélio Cândido. Jorge Vital will be the new goalkeeping coach, and Paulo Barreira will take the role of ‘head of athletic preparation’.

Coaches already present at the Rossoneri could remain too, but it seems that his core group will be made up of those five.
