Ruben Amorim Admits Milan Signings Don't Fit His Tactics
AC Milan manager Ruben Amorim faces an immediate tactical dilemma after admitting several summer arrivals lack the necessary traits for his preferred style of play. The admission follows a difficult three-game winless run capped by a 2-0 home defeat against Benfica in the Europa League on September 16, 2026.

clubThe manager’s current approach requires specific player movements and passing styles to maintain defensive shape and effective pressing across the pitch. Speaking after the recent European fixture at the Stadio San Siro, Amorim noted that the squad does not yet possess the exact characteristics needed to execute his tactical structure seamlessly. This viewpoint marks a sharp pivot from his previous public assessment, where he rated the club’s summer transfer activity with top marks.
Club owner Gerry Cardinale scheduled a direct meeting with Amorim to address these squad issues and review roster construction ahead of Sunday’s upcoming fixture against Lecce. Despite the friction on the pitch, Amorim holds a three-year contract that includes a club option for an additional year, giving leadership decisions a long-term framework to weigh.
