Milan have made a promising start under Ruben Amorim, with results that point to stronger form early in the season.
Amorim's early numbers
The Portuguese coach, who took charge of the Rossoneri in summer 2026, has overseen five wins and three draws from his first nine matches. Milan have scored 17 goals in that run.
Amorim has built around attacking football and a high press, and Milan's hierarchy reportedly saw that approach as one of the reasons for appointing him.
Signs of progress, but problems remain
A 3-0 win over Lecce and a series of important comebacks have drawn attention to the new coach's work. The defeat to Benfica in the Europa League showed that Milan still need more stability at the back.
Amorim's aim is to take Milan back into the group of title challengers in Italy and into the top tier of European competition. His first run of results has given the Rossoneri a solid platform.
