AC Milan have made a significant investment in their future by signing Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim to a substantial contract. The deal, worth 3.5 million euros net per season until 2028, with an option for 2029, reflects the club's total confidence in his tactical project, which focuses on a three-man defense and high-intensity pressing.

This contract places Amorim in a different salary bracket compared to his predecessor on the Milan bench. The move marks a partial reduction in fixed costs associated with top manager contracts but still represents a considerable economic effort by the club.

A comparison with the previous management shows a clear change in trend. Former coach Massimiliano Allegri earned a much higher salary of 7.5 million euros net per season, plus bonuses. The saving on fixed costs for Milan amounts to around one million euros per year, providing financial relief that can be redirected to the transfer market to meet Amorim's requests.

The club's strategy, led by Gerry Cardinale, Massimo Calvelli, and Markus Krosche, aims to balance financial prudence with competitive ambitions, and Amorim's appointment is a key part of this plan.
