Watch: Amorim arrives in Milan: ‘It’s an honour to be Milan’s coach’

Watch: Amorim arrives in Milan: ‘It’s an honour to be Milan’s coach’ Ruben Amorim has arrived in Milan to begin his adventure in the San Siro dugout, touching down on Monday and declaring it an honour to lead the Rossoneri, delivering his first words on Italian soil. The Portuguese, announced by the club in recent weeks, landed ahead of schedule to start his first experience in Italian football. His arrival follows Milan’s confirmation of their first signing of the summer, Gonçalo Ramos, currently on World Cup duty with Portugal. Amorim will head to Casa Milan on Monday to take in his new surroundings before travelling to the Milanello training base on Tuesday to begin laying the groundwork for his project.

After the last one I’d promised myself to choose a smaller challenge, but I’m here and it’s even bigger. I’m really proud to be here, I just want to work with my players and my staff, and I’m truly happy to be here. In Milan to win? Of course. If you want to be Milan’s coach, you have to play for that.” The reference to his “last challenge” nods to his previous role at Manchester United, but the scale of the task ahead is considerable: Milan are rebuilding after a disappointing campaign that left them out of the Champions League. In Amorim, RedBird and Gerry Cardinale have entrusted the reset to a young, modern coach, and the new man has wasted no time in setting the tone. L’arrivo di Amorim in hotel a Milano.
