Ruben Amorim is one of the leading candidates to take over as new AC Milan head coach, according to Sky in Italy.

The 41-year-old has been out of work since being sacked by Manchester United in January, bringing an end to 14 months at Old Trafford.

Amorim, who joined United from Sporting in November 2024, led the club to the Europa League final during his first season but struggled to deliver consistent results domestically. 

Al-Ahli boss Matthias Jaissle, who previously managed Red Bull Salzburg, is also a contender.
