A heavy day for Milan the day after the defeat against Benfica. Some are already calling for the head of Ruben Amorim, while some rumors link Antonio Conte to the Rossoneri bench. Gerry Cardinale took little time to make his decision, although some things will need to be clarified in the coming days. From the United States, a sensational news arrives featuring Christian Pulisic. Meanwhile, the management has identified a talent from Brazil ahead of the January market.

Milan, Amorim's position

'Sky Sport' also spoke of a possible meeting between the owner and the Rossoneri coach to take stock after the Europa League disaster. The intention is to move forward together. Clearly results are needed, but Amorim can count on a contract valid until 2029 with an option until 2030, as well as a significant salary of 3.5 million euros net per season plus bonuses. The scenario could worsen if on Sunday Milan were to draw or even lose against Lecce: in that case Cardinale will have the national break to think and make a decision.

The truth about Conte

From what we have learned, after deepening the topic, there are no contacts or thoughts from Milan regarding Conte. At the moment it should be dismissed as an early rumor or even a social media suggestion, useful to stir the wounded Milan fans. Conte’s presence at San Siro right now may mean little or nothing, perhaps simple curiosity or a desire for an update, maybe a way to get attention and create a contact. Conte has already winked at Milan in the past, without being much reciprocated. And Cardinale’s view on Conte, as far as we know, has not changed: he is not a coach who currently excites the imagination of Redbird’s number one.

Pochettino leaves Pulisic at home

At Milanello, Pulisic will have two weeks to regain his best condition and finally reclaim his starting place on the right wing. We know well how fragility and long intercontinental trips have often caused the American further physical problems.
