Former Inter coach Stramaccioni hails Milan’s Amorim as ‘a coach with clear ideas’ Former Inter and Udinese coach Andrea Stramaccioni has backed Milan head coach Ruben Amorim, praising the Portuguese tactician for his clear ideas and his ability to protect his players. Milan have made a positive start to the Serie A season, collecting seven points from their opening games while remaining unbeaten. There is still plenty of work ahead for Amorim, however, something the coach himself acknowledged following the draw against Juventus . The Portuguese boss has divided opinion since taking charge at San Siro, but Stramaccioni has been impressed by what he has seen so far. “Amorim appeals to me: he is a coach who has clear ideas, who protects the group and who goes straight down his own path,” Stramaccioni told DAZN, with quotes via MilanNews.it .

Seeing the owner sitting there listening to his press conference also shows that there is a new atmosphere around the club.” Stramaccioni’s comments come as Amorim attempts to establish his methods at Milan and build consistency on the pitch. The Rossoneri’s unbeaten start has provided an encouraging foundation, although the coach will be aware that performances and results will face increasingly intense scrutiny as the season progresses. For now, Stramaccioni believes the early signs are positive, particularly in terms of Amorim’s conviction and his relationship with the club’s hierarchy.
