Adrien Rabiot gives Ruben Amorim winning Milan debut

Adrien Rabiot scored the winner as AC Milan beat Torino 2-1 in Ruben Amorim’s first match in charge.

Adrien Rabiot gave Ruben Amorim a winning start at AC Milan, delivering the decisive contribution in the Portuguese coach’s first match on the Rossoneri bench. The result also keeps the French midfielder at the centre of attention as uncertainty remains over his future at the club.

Milan defeated Torino 2-1 away in Serie A on Sunday. Rabiot’s decisive action settled the match and allowed Amorim to begin his tenure with three points. The victory provides an immediate positive result for the new coach, although no league-table movement or wider change in Milan’s position is established by the supplied information.

Amorim’s early efforts have included direct contact with the squad, with Rabiot and goalkeeper Mike Maignan receiving particular attention because both players’ futures remain unresolved. The coach’s objective is to persuade them to continue in Milan. Rabiot’s contribution in Turin strengthens his sporting importance to a team beginning a new phase under Amorim.

The French international has also remained involved in debates beyond match results. He has criticised the planned relocation of Milan’s league fixture against Como to Australia, drawing a response from Serie A’s leadership and support from the UNFP. For now, his immediate impact has been measured on the pitch, where he helped make Amorim’s opening night a victory.
