Ruben Amorim has officially started his adventure at the helm of Milan and the first signals show that the Portuguese coach has clear ideas about how he wants to build the team for the coming seasons. Although he has only been in office for a few days, he has started the first moves to consolidate the base of the red and black technical project.

According to reports from Italy, Amorim has held talks with two of Milan's most important players, Mike Maignan and Adrien Rabiot, who are currently with the French national team at the World Cup. The aim of the talks was to convey his confidence in the players and convince them that the club wants to have them at the heart of the new project.

Maignan's situation has been the subject of discussion in the transfer market for months. The French goalkeeper has been frequently mentioned in connection with the interest of several big European clubs.

For this reason, Amorim has decided to communicate personally with the French goalkeeper. In the vision of the Portuguese coach, the goalkeeper does not only have the task of protecting the goal, but also plays an important role in building up the defense's actions. Precisely for this reason, Menjo is considered one of the key figures of the team.

Another important issue is related to Adrien Rabiot. The French midfielder has been part of numerous discussions in recent weeks. Amorim wanted to remove any ambiguity, explaining to the footballer the role he foresees for him in the new tactical scheme.

According to the coach's ideas, the midfield must have intensity, physical strength, the ability to cover spaces and personality in key moments of the matches. In this profile, Rabiot is considered one of the most suitable players to lead the team. During the conversation, Amorim presented his plans and the importance that the Frenchman would have in organizing Milan's game.

Meanwhile, the Portuguese coach has already started contacts with Strahinja Pavlovi?, another player considered important for the team's future. This shows that the management and technical staff are working to preserve the core of the group before focusing on new approaches in the transfer market.

The management's support for Amorim seems complete. The club aims to build a long-term project and return to competition at the highest levels, both in the championship and in European competitions. For this reason, the first priority remains the retention of players who are considered the pillars of the team.

In anticipation of the developments in the transfer market, Amorim has already made the first moves to strengthen the relationship with the group's leaders.
