Allegri Considers Milan Exit After Ibrahimovic Disagreement

Massimiliano Allegri is reportedly giving serious thought to stepping down as AC Milan's head coach at the end of the current season, regardless of the team's performance in the final two Serie A matches. According to Corriere della Sera, his decision stems from dissatisfaction with the internal atmosphere at the club.

The Italian coach, who returned to Milan in the summer, is said to be feeling worn out and demotivated. His relationship with Zlatan Ibrahimovic is cited as a major point of contention. Allegri reportedly became aware of phone calls between the Swedish director and some players, which he viewed as an unacceptable technical interference, especially given their already strained understanding.

Beyond the tension with Ibrahimovic, Allegri has been grappling with a highly unstable environment within the club. The criticism directed at Furlani, the uncertainties surrounding Tare's future, and difficulties encountered in the transfer market have all contributed to his disillusionment. It's worth noting that in January, despite requests for attacking reinforcements, the squad only saw the arrival of Fullkrug.

Currently, Milan is battling for Champions League qualification. The team sits in fourth place, level on points with Roma but holding the advantage in head-to-head encounters. Allegri's future will be decided at the end of the season, with the prospect of taking charge of the Italian national team, particularly with Malagò at the helm of the federation, emerging as a highly appealing scenario for the coach.
