AC Milan ‘already losing patience with Ruben Amorim after just six games’

According to a report by The Sun on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, Ruben Amorim is reportedly coming under increasing pressure at AC Milan after only six Serie A fixtures, with concerns emerging over his tactics despite the club’s unbeaten start to the campaign.

According to reports from Portugal, Milan’s disappointing 2-2 draw with Sassuolo has intensified questions about the team’s performances under the former Manchester United manager. Adrien Rabiot initially gave Milan the advantage shortly after the 60-minute mark, but Sassuolo soon found an equaliser, forcing the Rossoneri to settle for a point.

The outcome reportedly angered Milan director Gerry Cardinale, who was said to have left the stadium visibly disappointed following the match.

A Bola, a Portuguese publication, has also raised doubts about Amorim’s tactical methods, suggesting that Milan have struggled to produce convincing performances. Despite making an encouraging start in their first league match, the team’s displays have reportedly become increasingly inconsistent.

Milan’s reluctance to maintain their attacking intensity after scoring the opening goal has emerged as a particular concern. Instead of pressing for further goals, the team have often retreated into a deeper defensive formation to protect their lead.

Rabiot has previously spoken about this problem, pointing out that Milan tend to sit too deep when attempting to preserve an advantage. The same weakness reportedly contributed to their difficulties during their recent meeting with Juventus.

Despite the growing criticism, Milan remain unbeaten in Serie A after securing 12 points from their first six matches. Nevertheless, their performances have raised questions about whether Amorim is making sufficient progress with the team, even though the results have generally been positive.

When Amorim arrived in Italy, some supporters defended him, arguing that his disappointing spell at Manchester United could not be blamed entirely on him. His move to Milan was viewed by some as an opportunity to rebuild his reputation and demonstrate his managerial abilities.

However, the Rossoneri’s recent displays have placed his tactical decisions under greater scrutiny. Amorim must now find ways to improve the team’s consistency, encourage a more positive attacking approach and address concerns about their defensive mentality after taking the lead.

For now, there is no official indication that AC Milan intend to sack the Portuguese coach. However, continued inconsistent performances could increase the pressure on him to demonstrate that he is the right man to lead the club forward.
