Stramaccioni has praised Amorim for his clear ideas and ability to protect his players, saying: "Amorim appeals to me: he is a coach who has clear ideas, who protects the group and who goes straight down his own path." The Portuguese tactician has divided opinion since taking charge at San Siro, but Stramaccioni has been impressed by what he has seen so far.
Milan have made a positive start to the Serie A season, collecting seven points from their opening games while remaining unbeaten. However, there is still plenty of work ahead for Amorim, as he attempts to establish his methods at the club and build consistency on the pitch. Stramaccioni believes the early signs are positive, particularly in terms of Amorim's conviction and his relationship with the club's hierarchy.
