Benfica's historic San Siro win fuels debate over Rúben Amorim's future at AC Milan
Benfica defeated AC Milan 2-0 at the San Siro, marking their first victory over the Italian side and sparking discussion about the pressure on Milan coach Rúben Amorim.
In a landmark match at the San Siro, Benfica overcame AC Milan 2-0, delivering the first official win for the Portuguese club against the Italian giants. Marco Silva was highlighted for his bold rotations, deploying nine changes that helped secure the result and demonstrated depth in the Benfica squad. Meanwhile, Rúben Amorim faced growing scrutiny, with pundits recalling his earlier statements about team cohesion and noting that his tenure at Milan began amid high expectations and recent spending on new players.
Critics argue that Amorim’s track record at United and Sporting may foreshadow challenges in Italy, though some observers caution that it is still too early in the season to judge. The victory also underscores Benfica’s strong start in the Europa League, while the conversation around Amorim adds pressure to his already precarious position at Milan.
