Milan start new era under Amorim

Milan’s first league match of the campaign comes on the road, giving Amorim an immediate test as he begins his official tenure with the club. The Portuguese manager will be looking for his team to collect three points and establish momentum at the start of the new Serie A season.

The Rossoneri face a Torino side hoping to make full use of home advantage. The hosts will also be managed by a familiar figure to Milan supporters, with former Italy international Ignazio Abate taking charge.

The campaign represents Abate’s first experience as a head coach in Serie A. His previous connection with the Lombardy club adds an extra layer of interest to a fixture already carrying significance for both teams.

Milan are seeking a winning start against one of the competition’s prominent clubs, while Torino will aim to produce a positive result in front of their home crowd.
