Amorim Admits Tactical Change After Milan’s 3-0 Win

He says he will avoid the rigid three-at-the-back system that cost him at Manchester United.

Overview

  • Milan beat Lecce 3-0 on Sunday after Amorim gave players more freedom in build-up and attacking movement, ending a three-match winless run.
  • Amorim told DAZN that the match showed he must not repeat the same tactical mistakes he made at Manchester United and that he will adapt to the players available.
  • His Manchester United spell was marked by a persistent back-three used in 45 of 47 league games, just 15 wins, and a 15th-place finish that led to his January sacking.
  • Milan’s Europa League loss to Benfica and subsequent concerns from owner Gerry Cardinale prompted an internal review that increased pressure for quicker improvements.
  • The immediate test will be whether Amorim sustains flexible selection and systems in coming matches or moves to recruit players to fit his preferred style.
