There have been plenty of turns in the hunt for a new Milan manager, but Amorim’s appreciation has been rising amongst the existing management at the club over the course of the past week. So, when it was reported that he was offered a deal on Saturday, it was no shock.
Like with Oliver Glasner, a deal was offered before Gerry Cardinale’s complete acceptance, with reports this morning suggesting that the American’s final approval was required before things could be finalised.
However, that has now arrived.
Amorim given ‘Here We Go’ status
As Fabrizio Romano broke with his classic ‘Here we go’ statement, the Portuguese coach will join the club shortly, with a contract verbally agreed upon. He will join the club initially on a two-year deal until June 2028, but there would be an option to extend until 2029.
Perhaps this will be in the same structure of Massimiliano Allegri’s deal, where the option is triggered after qualification to the Champions League.
Nevertheless, it is a welcomed step forward with some much-needed clarity arriving on the project and the future of the Rossoneri will be guided by Amorim.
