This is his standard statement right, he's basically getting his excuses in early. He doesn't mean AC Milan are a bigger club than United, rather that it's a massive challenge to get them back where they belong.
Ruben Amorim - AC Milan head coach (not manager, or perhaps manager) | living rent free in your heads
- Thread starter Bastian
- Start date
Yup, standard Ruben. “Massive challenge”, suffering incoming, time needed, worst AC Milan side ever etc.
He’ll only ever start talking positive if he gets a side winning, up until then, it’ll be everyone’s fault but his own.

First time in a very long time, they have spent that much.
Leao was their record signing back in 19/20 at €49mil. Bonucci in 17/18 for €42mil. Before that it was Rui Costa back in 2001 !
They have 7 CL trophies to their name. Only second to real Madrid in the all time list.
Yeah they won the league in 2021, but they are very far off being a force in Europe again. Never mind serie A consistently. Years of terrible mistakes management. They have a new joint stadium coming in 2028 with Inter. Which won't be owned by the Milan council. So the revenue gap which is over €100mil compared to Utd or Madrid, will decrease.
I think getting Milan anywhere near challenging for CL again is a bigger challenge than Utd. Simply due to the amount of money available in PL and lack of money in Italian football. It's much harder to challenge the European elite, when you don't have the TV money or revenue from your stadium.
They are a fallen giant of European football. They should be up there with Bayern, Madrid, Barcelona etc, regularly in the knockout stages of CL every season.
They are nowhere near it.
So yeah Milan are a bigger challenge because they are much further away than Utd in challenging for top honours again.
Crazy we were prepared to back him no matter the results last season
I doubt AC Milan will be so lenient
Take CL out of it because neither of us are getting near that with the teams in that competition and I don't think Milan's expectations are for Amorim to win them that any time soon. League only Milan have a way better chance at winning their league compared to us with the team they have and level of competition in that league.

Has he told them they will need to suffer? I wonder if they know.
So he's already taking a dig at UTD. Never issued any statement to thank those fans that had supported him despite the constant flow of shit he was serving day in, day out.
The absolute worst manager I've seen at Man Utd, and one of the worst ever. Portuguese snake oil salesman.

I'm not bothered usually by pre season results but I hope we absolutely batter Milan and Casemiro comes out of no-where and two foots Ruben.
A simple ChatGPT thank you to the fans that stood by him and even stranger still do probably would have sufficed but guess that's too much to ask from are Amorim.
Careful Milan, his backup team are bluffers too
“I think my one tactic may work in Italy if we play it all the time. The players must work to learn it. “
How did he not have the opportunity to ask his PR to come up with something to thank the fans? What a bullshitter this guy is.
No suffering talk yet I see. Either that's the thing that he has learned or he knows it won't fly there.

If he gets the exact ideal 11 to suit his inflexible tactics and style it might be ok.
Although all the full backs there are properly worried that they'll have one impossible job trying to meet his ideal of a wingback.

Poor Modric
Him and Frank de Boer the worst I have ever seen
I am not sure he ever achieved the uefa pro licence, not sure

A truly Shakespearean speech.
At the end of the day, I think Anorim at United was 50/50 his fault. He refused to adapt at all, even if he was right about certain things. You gotta be adaptable and work with what you have and aim to do everything he wanted over time.
Just didn't work out!

Probably more like 95/05 his fault.
Team would’ve done better with Casemiro as player / coach.
There was no need really, he was a colossal failure, he knows that.
there were no redeeming qualities there at all.
Best thing he could’ve done is to walk away silently so we can start erasing his tenure as Manchester United coach from our collective memory.
That's just being petty. It's always black and white. A wrong fit for this time period also.
Think he's in for a rude awakening in Serie A, yes the standard might be lower, but it's very competitive at the top, Inter and Napoil have been the best teams last few years, then you always have Juve, Roma, AC themselves around, Como done well to break in, throw in Lazio, Atalanta, Bologna, with the latter two being in the CL the last few seasons, this isn't going to be a cake walk
He finally addresses the United fans only after being prompted by a journalist at his Milan unveiling. He could've thanked the fans months ago for continuing to sing his name throughout his abysmal tenure, but nope, he couldn't be arsed. Dickhead. I hope the Milan ultras don't hold back when he's serving up his usual shit-on-a-stick football.
F off you absolute grifter.
You will be remembered as a virus. He had every opportunity to thank the fans, but as we came to expect only his ego matters.
Not interested in anything he says.
Surprised he left out the extras:
Sorry I didn't thank the fans, but I was very busy spending my money I took when I left you.
Some things I would change - all the players and staff,
Some things I'd never change - my formation and my style of football.

100%.
Was supported through the most abysmal Man Utd results seen in the Premier League era and never thought to say thank you.
With that level of self absorbtion you can see why he failed at United.
I still have PTSD.
Would hate to be an AC Milan fan now.

Think he could still be a good manager. His stubbornness was his downfall, but he's still young.
I don’t hate the guy because lord knows there’s too much hate and division in the world as it is, but he certainly makes it hard to warm to him, an unmitigated disaster for us and the only abiding memory of him is cowering in the dug out during the Grimsby debacle.
Morbidly curious as to how he’ll fare in Italy as no way in hell will their fans be anywhere near as patient as we were with him.

Where do I sign?
Poor AC Milan fans have no idea what they are getting themselves into with this fraudster.
They better get used to bottom half of the table.
