AC Milan owner Gerry Cardinale publicly backed Ruben Amorim after Milan beat Udinese 2-0 at the BluEnergy Stadium. The result moved Milan level with Roma in third place, four points behind Inter and Lazio.
Cardinale on the performance
Cardinale told Sky Sport Italia: "The team continues to improve and has shown great resilience after the disappointing match in Europe. We maintained high intensity throughout the entire match; ball possession and aggressiveness in winning the ball back after losing it were very positive aspects."
Backing for Amorim
Cardinale said he had full confidence in Amorim after the win. He said: "Ruben has managed rotations and substitutions well. All of this puts us in a good condition ahead of Wednesday's home game."
Upcoming fixtures
Milan's next game is a home match against Bologna on Wednesday. Milan are then scheduled to play Inter on Saturday.
Off-field matters
GOAL reported that the search for a new Head of Football is a priority during Cardinale's stay in Italy. GOAL also reported that Markus Krosche has been heavily linked with the role, though a final agreement has yet to be reached.
A presentation regarding the new San Siro stadium project is scheduled for Thursday, featuring Cardinale and Inter representative Beppe Marotta.
