Sky journalist claims Milan will make Amorim an 'all-round manager' due to 'missing' figure
Sky journalist Peppe Di Stefano suggests that AC Milan is attempting to transform coach Ruben Amorim into an 'all-round manager' by centralizing his authority. This strategy follows the decision not to hire external directors to support the coach.
Why it matters
This shift in management structure represents a high-risk, high-reward experiment in modern football club governance.
AC Milan’s current idea is to give Ruben Amorim the keys to the club, becoming almost an old school manager rather than just a coach.
When Amorim was announced as the man who would replace Massimiliano Allegri, the presumption at the time is that he would be accompanied by an experienced group of directors, like Ralf Rangnick or Markus Krosche and Timmo Hardung .
No other external figures arrived and Gerry Cardinale instead decided to promote internal candidates, something that is believed to have initially been a point of contention. From there, full powers were given to Amorim to shape things as he sees fit, and with a big say on recruitment too.
