Two managers at the start of new projects face off in the Indonesian capital of Jakarta on Saturday, as Chelsea take on AC Milan.
Xabi Alonso’s Blues have suffered back-to-back defeats on their summer tour after beating Western Sydney Wanderers 6–4. After losing late on to a Richarlison strike against London rivals Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea huffed and puffed in a slender defeat to Juventus on Wednesday.
They’re now facing Juve’s domestic rivals to kick off a busy weekend before returning to west London.
Ruben Amorim is the new man at the helm of the Rossoneri, desperate to restore his once-burgeoning reputation after succumbing to the Old Trafford spotlight. His game model simply wasn’t conducive to sustained success in the Premier League, but he’s got a far better chance in Italy.
Amorim has succeeded Massimiliano Allegri at San Siro and has started his tenure with a pair of draws against Celtic and cross-city rivals Inter.
Here’s how to catch Saturday’s action on TV and streaming.

What’s Next for Chelsea, AC Milan?
Chelsea are playing back-to-back games this weekend, swiftly flying to Malaysia to face Johor Darul Ta’zim on Sunday.
The Blues then return home for one final friendly against Real Sociedad at Stamford Bridge on Aug. 15 ahead of the start of the new Premier League season, which begins with a short trip over to face Fulham and new manager Álvaro Arbeloa, who replaced Alonso at Real Madrid last season.
Milan’s tour was brief, as they’re returning to Europe after Saturday’s friendly. Next up for them is a clash with Amorim’s former employers, Manchester United, in Poland eight days before they take on Torino to kick off their Serie A campaign.
