Amorim: Milan have to aim for Serie A and Europa League success

Syndicated reporting provided by Stats Perform and reviewed by the SoccerNews editorial team.

Ruben Amorim believes AC Milan must aim to win both Serie A and the Europa League in 2026-27 due to the level of the club.

A disappointing end to their Serie A campaign last season, which saw them win just one of their last five games (D1 L3), meant the Rossoneri missed out on the Champions League places.

Milan lost 2-1 to Cagliari on the final day of the season, which also proved to be Massimiliano Allegri’s final game in charge, allowing Como to finish in the top four.

Milan earned 70 points in a Serie A season (considering always three points for a win) while ending the campaign outside the top four for the first time in their history.

But Amorim does not want to dwell on the past, as he sets lofty targets for his Milan side to achieve this season.

“I can’t come here and say that we can’t or don’t want to win the title,” Amorim said.

“There’s a lot of work to do, with a new coach and changes to the squad, but when you’re at a club of Milan’s level, you have to aim for the title. So we’ll try.

“In the Europa League we have to believe, and we have to want to win the competition.

“Everyone wants everything, immediately, but things done well take time. My choice is to do the right things at the right moment.”

Milan have two more pre-season friendlies, against Chelsea and Amorim’s former side Manchester United, before their Serie A campaign begins on August 23.

The Rossoneri face Torino away from home in their first game, before hosting Venezia at San Siro five days later.
