Following the Europa League home defeat to Benfica, alarm bells have sounded at Milan, with Cardinale expressing dissatisfaction with the team's recent performance. This afternoon, club management will hold internal discussions with Amorim to directly assess the team's poor form and season objectives.

Amorim's position under scrutiny

More concerning are the structural problems the team has exposed across multiple areas. The Portuguese coach has yet to establish a clear playing style or settle on a stable starting XI. Cardinale will also press Amorim on comments made during the post-match press conference and his remarks about the squad on Sky Sport Italia. With the team winless for 270 minutes, the club's patience is wearing thin; his position is increasingly under pressure. Conte also attended the match at San Siro last night.

Amorim's statement

"This isn't just about a lack of energy, but also organization, passing quality, and understanding different phases of the game. After conceding a goal, we must control possession, not just push forward without tactical structure. Once we fall behind, we lose our identity. Of course, I'm always concerned: even if we don't win a single game, or win but play poorly, I worry. What we need to do now is understand that this is football, understand that we're just getting started, and we must earn wins through our work in training," Amorim said after the loss to Benfica.
