Amorim: My job is not just to win, but also to guarantee Milan's future

Milan beat Udinese 2-0 to bounce back from a Europa League defeat, with Amorim emphasizing his role extends beyond winning to developing young players for the club's future.

Milan secured a 2-0 victory at Udinese, bouncing back from their 3-0 Europa League loss to Bournemouth. Manager Amorim fielded several young players including 2006-born Diawara on his league debut at left-back, with Bartesaghi and Hutchinson also featuring prominently in the side.

Amorim praised the team's performance and approach, noting they played better than in the previous week's match against Atalanta. He highlighted Bartesaghi's pace and offensive qualities, saying he initially thought the young defender was more defensive-minded but has since discovered his attacking potential. On Diawara's debut, Amorim said: "I'm very happy for him. When you throw a young player with little experience into the mix, it's my responsibility. He did well and is an option for the season."

The manager stressed that his job encompasses more than just winning matches. "I wasn't called here only to win games, even though that's what people want, but also to guarantee a future for Milan by playing young players and giving them the right opportunities," he told DAZN. Milan now faces Bologna in a midweek league fixture before the derby against Inter on October 31.
