Ruben Amorim Emerges as Favorite for AC Milan Manager Position
Ruben Amorim has reportedly become the leading candidate to take over as manager of Serie A club AC Milan. This development follows a period where Oliver Glasner and Matthias Jaissle were also considered for the role. Milan majority shareholder Gerry Cardinale has presented Amorim with an initial two-year contract, including an option for a third year contingent on European qualification. Amorim is reportedly inclined to accept the offer, viewing it as a significant opportunity to return to management. Intermediary Jorge Mendes, although not Amorim's direct agent, is said to be playing a crucial role in facilitating the potential move.
Ruben Amorim, formerly associated with Manchester United, has reportedly emerged as the frontrunner for the managerial position at Serie A side AC Milan. This comes after Oliver Glasner and Matthias Jaissle were initially considered for the role.
AC Milan's majority shareholder, Gerry Cardinale, has reportedly offered Amorim a two-year contract, with an additional third-year option that could depend on the club's European qualification. Amorim is reportedly keen to accept this opportunity, seeing it as a significant step in his return to the sport.
Meetings between Amorim's agent and Cardinale have reportedly taken place this week to discuss the potential terms. Jorge Mendes, a prominent figure in football intermediaries, is reportedly playing a crucial role in engineering the move, despite not being directly associated with Amorim as his agent. Other intermediaries are also reportedly working to bring Amorim and Mendes closer together.
Mendes's involvement is highlighted as potentially crucial, as he could offer certain transfer guarantees to AC Milan. His influence in the transfer market has been noted in several past incomings for the club, suggesting he could again impact market dynamics for the Rossoneri.
According to Yahoo Sports Soccer, this detailed look into the deal's engineering comes from Calciomercato.
