AC Milan have reportedly spoken with Ruben Amorim as the Serie A club continue their search for a new coach, while a Ralf Rangnick and Oliver Glasner structure remains the preferred plan, according to Football Italia.
Milan Continue Coach Search After Allegri Exit
Football Italia reported on June 11 that Milan are still waiting to appoint a new coach and senior management team after the departures of Massimiliano Allegri, Igli Tare, Geoffrey Moncada and Giorgio Furlani following the 2025-26 season.
The situation is wider than a simple coaching vacancy. Milan are trying to rebuild the sporting structure around the bench, with recent reports pointing to Rangnick as a possible technical director and Glasner as the leading head-coach candidate.
Glasner is available after leaving Crystal Palace, but Milan reportedly want to settle the technical director role first. Rangnick remains under contract with the Austria national team, which is trying to agree new terms with him.
Ruben Amorim Joins Milan Candidate List
According to the report, citing La Gazzetta dello Sport via Calciomercato.com, Milan have continued meeting possible head coaches while waiting for clarity on the Rangnick-Glasner route.
Amorim, formerly of Manchester United and Sporting CP, is described as the latest coach the Rossoneri have spoken with. Football Italia also notes that Gerry Cardinale has reportedly spoken with USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino.
The key detail is hierarchy. Amorim and Pochettino are framed as options, but not as the leading candidates. That status still belongs to Glasner, unless the Austrian decides against the Milan project.
Rangnick And Glasner Still Shape Serie A Decision
Milan's delay has a practical explanation. If the club want Rangnick above the coach and Glasner on the touchline, the first appointment shapes the second. Hiring a coach before the sporting lead is settled would risk starting the rebuild in the wrong order.
That does not make the waiting comfortable. Milan need clarity before preseason planning, recruitment and squad decisions accelerate. The club has already changed several senior roles, and every extra candidate meeting underlines how unsettled the football department remains.
For now, the Amorim contact shows Milan keeping alternatives alive rather than abandoning the preferred plan. The next decisive move still appears tied to whether Rangnick and Glasner can be brought into the same structure.
