Having taken charge of AC Milan this summer, Rúben Amorim has made a mixed start to life in Serie A. After the 3-0 victory over Lecce, the Portuguese coach believes in particular that he must learn from his experience at Manchester United.

Amorim wants to adapt more

Criticised in England for his attachment to his playing system, Amorim acknowledges that he cannot replicate the same approach in Milan.

I cannot repeat the mistakes I made at Manchester United. If we do not have the conditions to play in a certain way, we will adapt.

The Portuguese coach nevertheless says he wants to continue building his team with a back three, while remaining attentive to the characteristics of Italian football, particularly man-oriented pressing.

Fabio Capello praises Milan’s progress

The victory over Lecce also prompted comments from Fabio Capello. The former coach believes that Amorim has finally fielded a team capable of producing better results.

Amorim has finally fielded the best team and may have found the right path. We saw the results immediately.

The Italian coach now wants to see how Milan will integrate its new signings. Fifth in Serie A, AC Milan will also have to respond in the Europa League after a 2-0 defeat to Benfica in their first European match.
