Ibrahimovic angers Allegri and forces him to leave Milan

AC Milan head coach Massimiliano Allegri has decided to leave at the end of the current season due to disagreements with Swedish legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic, chief advisor at the San Siro castle.

“Milan” now ranks fourth in the Italian league with 67 pointstied with Roma in fifth place and then threatened to miss out on next season’s Champions League qualification with two rounds to go before the end of the Italian league.

Milan were second for a long time and nine points clear of fifth at the start of March, but completely collapsed; After the victory over Inter Milan in the Milan derby on March 8, they have won only two of their last 8 matches in the league and scored only 4 points from their last 6 games.

Tensions are also rising behind the scenes at Milan, with Corriere della Sera reporting that a row has broken out between coach Allegri and chief adviser Ibrahimovic.

He added that the relationship between Allegri and Ibrahimovic is now “non-existent” and the row is said to have started after Milan’s 1-0 defeat to Napoli in early April.

Ibrahimovic has not been seen at Milanello for several weeks since the alleged altercation on April 6, only recently returning to the club’s training ground.

The newspaper notes that there has always been an underlying tension between Allegri and Ibrahimovic, dating back to the manager’s first spell at the club, when the Swede was one of his options as a direct forward.

Allegri was also disappointed to discover that Ibrahimovic was in regular conversation with Antonio Cassano, one of Milan’s harshest and most vociferous critics in recent times.

Corriere della Sera claim that Ibrahimovic overstepped his bounds by speaking to some of Milan’s players, including Youssef Fofana and Rafael Leao, and giving them tactical advice.

He explained that Allegri wants to leave the club at the end of the season, regardless of whether the team will qualify for the Champions League next year or not.

Allegri, meanwhile, remains one of the coaches nominated to replace Gennaro Gattuso as Italy manager.

Recent reports suggest that he will be the most likely candidate if the current front-runner, Giovanni Malago, wins the upcoming Italian Football Federation elections.
