What happened. Antonio Conte was in the stands at San Siro as Milan trailed Benfica 1-0 at half-time in their Europa League opener. The Rossoneri were jeered off, and statistics show they have failed to score in the first half of any of Amorim's five matches in charge.
- Conte is a free agent after leaving Napoli and has been linked with Milan.
- All but one of Milan's Serie A goals came in a five-minute spell (64th-69th).
- The only outlier was an own goal by Venezia's Redouane Halhal at 89 minutes.
Amorim's slow starts are under the spotlight, with Conte's presence adding pressure ahead of upcoming fixtures.
