While the heavy lifting of negotiations is complete, Amorim is currently awaiting the final green light from Gerry Cardinale, the head of RedBird Capital and owner of the Italian giants. Once sanctioned, the coach is expected to travel to Milan immediately to sign his contract and begin preparations for the upcoming season.
Milan had considered several alternatives, including 38-year-old Matthias Jaissle, but Amorim’s status as a free agent gave him the edge. Choosing the Portuguese meant the club could avoid paying a hefty release clause, a complication that would have arisen had they pursued the Al-Ahli manager.
