Amorim: ‘Milan don’t want to win, we need to win’ starting from Torino
New AC Milan manager Ruben Amorim has emphasized the necessity of winning ahead of his competitive debut against Torino. Amorim expressed confidence in his squad despite a mixed pre-season and the pressure of managing a high-profile club.
Why it matters
The performance of a major football club under new management is a significant event for sports fans and the Serie A league.
Ruben Amorim insists Milan must feel the pressure against Torino , because 'it's not that we want to win, we need to win,' while updating on Rafael Leao , Diego Moreira and Samuel Chukwueze roles.
It kicks off at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino on Sunday at 19.45 UK time (20.45 CEST).
It is a clash with former Milan defender Ignazio Abate , who is getting his first Serie A coaching role after coming close to promotion with Juve Stabia in Serie B last season.

"I know that Abate is a former player, and had a lot of important games in our club. He knows at AC Milan we need to win every game, but we need to think about what we want to do," said Amorim in his press conference.
