Following the official confirmation of Ruben Amorim as the new Milan head coach, a recent poll of Football Italia readers reveals significant skepticism regarding the decision.
Out of 418 voters, a substantial majority were not convinced by Amorim’s appointment. The preferred alternative was Oliver Glasner, who recently secured the Conference League title with Crystal Palace, garnering 38% of the vote. Another 30% backed a different candidate, while 8% favored Mauricio Pochettino. Arne Slot received minimal support with only 3% of the vote, and a mere 21% of participants felt Amorim was the correct choice for the Milan job.
This poll offers an intriguing insight into the sentiment of the Milan fan base. Amorim now faces the challenge of proving his doubters wrong.
Some expressed reservations about the Portuguese coach but acknowledged a preference over appointing another “old recycled Italian coach.” Others voiced a desire for a move for former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.
Amorim’s impressive record at Sporting CP and his reputation as one of Europe’s most promising young coaches suggest that he has the potential to win over his critics. The key question that remains is whether he can achieve success without the allure of Champions League football.
