Amorim earns everyone's trust at Milan as management prepares to support him with new signings

Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim has earned the trust of AC Milan's officials and players after just five months in charge, with growing conviction within the club about the wisdom of the decision to hire him, according to Italian newspaper "Corriere dello Sport".

The newspaper explained that Milan's management is preparing to support Amorim with two or three new signings during the January transfer window, aiming to raise the team's level and enhance its competitiveness, given the great confidence the coach enjoys from club owner Gerry Cardinale.

The report highlighted three key aspects that have contributed to Amorim's success so far: managing the dressing room, tactical flexibility, and the ability to communicate with players. In the first aspect, the Portuguese coach has succeeded in improving the atmosphere within the team, drawing on his previous experience at Sporting Lisbon, while ensuring that he involves the team leaders to help him understand the details of the club and the training center, which has facilitated the integration of new signings and young players.

Tactically, Amorim has shown greater flexibility compared to his previous experiences, moving away from a strict adherence to the 3-4-3 formation and adapting his ideas according to the available players' capabilities. He currently relies more on the 4-2-3-1 and 4-2-4 formations during offensive organization, with the possibility of switching between a three or four defender setup, benefiting from the abilities of Mario Gila and Sanjón Diara to perform different roles in the backline.

Amorim has received praise for his communication style, particularly for his public acknowledgment of mistakes and his candid explanation of his approach to understanding football, without arrogance or shifting blame onto his players when things go wrong. The newspaper reported the admiration of Daniele De Rossi, the coach of Genoa, who confirmed his appreciation for the Portuguese coach's way of communicating and his commitment to taking responsibility.

This confidence is also reflected in the team's results in Serie A, as Milan have achieved seven victories in 11 matches, placing them fourth with 24 points, five points behind leaders Lazio. In contrast, the report did not address the team's negative results in the Europa League, where they lost three of their four matches.

In terms of injuries, Strahinja Pavlović is expected to return to training after recovering from a kidney issue, while Fikayo Tomori and Ruben Loftus-Cheek continue to be absent, with hopes of their return before the end of November.
