Urgent meeting bolsters Amorim's security at Milan
Ruben Amorim and AC Milan owner Gerry Cardinale met by video call on Thursday, right after the Italian club's defeat to Benfica in the Europa League. According to him, the meeting had a positive outcome and the Portuguese coach remains safe at Milan.
Immediate objectives before the break
The run of three games without a win did not shake Cardinale's confidence. The owner emphasized that he does not place great weight on the current moment and assured that Amorim's position is not at risk.
Cardinale also highlighted the need to turn the situation around against Lecce this Sunday, to give the squad a more positive environment and regain the fans' confidence. The win would be crucial to boost morale and avoid external pressure.
With the international break of more than two weeks approaching, the club considers it essential to secure three points in the next match. The Portuguese manager was reminded of the investment made in the summer transfer market.
Furthermore, Cardinale emphasized the importance of rotation and utilizing the squad throughout the October fixture list that will follow the break. The goal is to keep the team's competitiveness on multiple fronts.
