Ruben Amorim was not successful at Manchester United and in January the 41-year-old was sacked.
It was five months without employment for the Portuguese, who is now set to take over at Milan in Serie A. He replaces Massimiliano Allegri, who led the team to fifth place in the league last season. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Zlatan Ibrahimovic had a hand in the selection.
The Swede is an adviser to the club's owner, Gerry Cardinale, and the newspaper has previously reported that Ruben Amorim was Ibrahimovic's candidate for the job.
