The two sides agreed on a contract valid until June 2028, with an option to extend it until 2029. The Portuguese strategist is expected to finalize the legal procedures and sign the official contract this week.
The appointment of Amorim is part of AC Milan's comprehensive rebuilding plan after a disappointing season. A slump in form towards the end of the season saw the "Rossoneri" drop out of the top four and lose their Champions League qualification. The inevitable consequence was the dismissal of coach Max Allegri, paving the way for a sweeping overhaul at both the top management level and in the technical aspects of the team.
Besides the changes on the coaching bench, the club's top management also saw significant shifts with the departure of Sporting Director Igli Tare, Head of Recruitment Geoffrey Moncada, and CEO Giorgio Furlani.
Before agreeing to join AC Milan, Amorim was a prime target for Fulham as a replacement for Marco Silva. However, after considering his options, the 41-year-old manager decided to choose the Serie A club as his next destination.
Furthermore, Amorim finding a new job also helps Manchester United ease their financial burden. Thanks to a special clause in the parting agreement, the £16 million compensation that the "Red Devils" have to pay will be significantly reduced when Amorim finds a new club.
