AC Milan in talks with Ruben Amorim, sacked by Manchester United after 24 wins in 63 games

Uk reported. The Portuguese coach has been out of work since being sacked by United in January after a 14-month spell in charge. Amorim won 24 games and lost 21 out of 63 matches during his time at Old Trafford.

Sources close to the 41-year-old had previously distanced him from a return to Benfica, where he spent six years as a player and made 154 appearances. There is no agreement in place, but conversations have taken place between Milan and Amorim's representatives, and he is high on their list of candidates. Allegri was dismissed in May after failing to qualify AC Milan for the Champions League.

Milan had been nine points clear of fifth place when they beat rivals Inter in March. The team then won just three of their final 10 games, picking up 10 points, and finished one point behind Como, who secured the final Champions League spot on the last day of the season.

USA coach Mauricio Pochettino has also been linked with the vacancy, as has Oliver Glasner, who left Crystal Palace after their Uefa Conference League final victory over Rayo Vallecano.

Ralf Rangnick, another former Manchester United manager who had been linked with the Milan job, is out of the running after extending his contract with Austria to 2028. If Amorim took over, he would face his old club in pre-season. AC Milan are due to face Manchester United in Wroclaw, Poland on 15 August, a week before the Premier League begins.
