Amorim has reportedly accepted all personal terms and conditions presented by the Rossoneri management and is scheduled to officially sign the paperwork later this week.
This high-profile appointment marks a swift return to the dugout for the 41-year-old manager following his turbulent stint in the English Premier League with Manchester United.
Amorim arrived at Old Trafford with a reputation as one of Europe’s brightest young coaching talents but struggled to replicate his previous domestic success under intense scrutiny.
His tenure in Manchester came to an end after a disappointing run of form left the Red Devils in 6th place in the Premier League table, but with the same amount of points as Chelsea (at the time in Champions League qualifying position), having accumulated just 31 points during his time in charge of the English giants.

AC Milan turned to Amorim as part of a major structural rebuild aimed at challenging rivals Inter Milan and reclaiming dominance in Serie A. The Italian club’s board was drawn to his tactical flexibility and his proven track record of developing elite young talent, traits that defined his celebrated championship-winning years in Portugal.
With the formal signing imminent, Amorim is expected to begin pre-season planning immediately as he looks to revitalize his career and lead the historic Italian club back to the summit of European football.
