GdS: Contracts, signings and protection – why Cardinale would find it difficult to sack Amorim

A report by Gazzetta dello Sport has outlined why AC Milan owner Gerry Cardinale would find it difficult to sack manager Ruben Amorim. Despite pressure following a damaging defeat on Wednesday, Cardinale remains heavily tied to the manager he personally selected and backed during the summer transfer window.

Sacking Amorim so early in his tenure would reportedly send a negative signal about the club's long-term project. Furthermore, Amorim's three-year contract with an option for a fourth makes a dismissal financially difficult, while the squad is still not considered fully complete.
