Milan Transfer Market: Amorim Summoned to Headquarters for a Scolding—What’s Going On?

The situation is getting complicated for Ruben Amorim at Milan: the Rossoneri’s last three matches against Juventus, Lazio, and Benfica have caused concern among the Milan club’s management, which wants to get to the bottom of the matter and has summoned the Portuguese coach for an emergency meeting.

In particular, according to rumors reported by MilanNews, owner Gerry Cardinale is said to be very dissatisfied with the team’s performance: there will thus be an internal discussion via a call on Thursday afternoon between the former Manchester United coach and the head of RedBird to figure out what is going on.

Under scrutiny are not only the lineup decisions made in recent matches but also the statements regarding the transfer market and the squad’s unsuitability for his style of play, made to Sky shortly before the Europa League match against the Eagles. Amorim continues to enjoy the club’s full support, but an immediate turnaround will be essential, starting with the match against Lecce—the last game before the long international break.

“We’re trying to develop fluidity to gain more possession. We had that in the second half, but we’re not creating chances. We lack creativity near the penalty area. In the first half, when we conceded the goal, we lost sight of what we needed to do and rushed everything, without quality—that’s Amorim’s analysis of the match against Benfica. Everything is connected. Ultimately, we’re not very organized; there are details we need to improve. We drop back too much when we lose the ball. We need to improve defensively, but we also need to score first to take control of the game.”

On adapting: “I make constant adjustments. We have two months to work on this, but we’ll find ways to adapt for certain matches. We need to develop a game plan, but we also need to win.”
