Despite AC Milan’s irregular results and the recent defeat against Bologna, Ruben Amorim can count on the unwavering support of his management. In a long interview given to La Gazzetta Dello SportGerry Cardinale, owner of the Lombard club and boss of RedBird, wanted to put an end to questions concerning the future of the Portuguese coach. “ I have full confidence in him. In the final scene of Top Gun, my movie, Tom Cruise says, “I’m not giving up my ally.” Well, I’m not abandoning Ruben “, he declared, before insisting: “ He is absolutely not in danger. I will stay by his side. » The American leader assures that he does not want to repeat the mistakes of the past by increasing the number of coaching changes. “ Amorim, I chose it. If I had made a mistake I would admit it, but I don’t think I was wrong “, he added, convinced that the technician is the ideal man to bring the Rossoneri back to the top.
Gerry Cardinale also explained why he personally chose Ruben Amorim, despite his complicated experience at Manchester United. “ He learned a lot from what happened at Manchester United and I recruited him because he explained to me the mistakes he made there », Confided the Milanese owner. Seduced by his leadership, his methods and his particularly intense playing philosophy, nicknamed “ Amorim Ball », Cardinale believes that the Portuguese has already transformed the club’s environment. “ At Milanello, we breathe a different atmosphere than in the last four years. It’s thanks to him “, he assured. The manager particularly appreciates the involvement of the players and the cohesion of the locker room, while recognizing that the team still needs to progress. As the derby against Inter approaches, Cardinale therefore refuses any questioning of his coach and intends to give him the time necessary to build a team capable of winning the Scudetto.
