Allegri Considering AC Milan Exit Amid Ibrahimovic Feud

Massimiliano Allegri is reportedly prepared to quit AC Milan at the end of the season following a complete breakdown in his relationship with club advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Despite returning to the San Siro with high ambitions in 2025, the veteran coach is said to be exhausted by internal boardroom friction and the team’s alarming decline in form.

Internal divisions at Milan have reached a breaking point, with head coach Allegri increasingly isolated amid a toxic “everyone against everyone” atmosphere.

According to Corriere della Sera, tensions exploded between Allegri and Ibrahimovic following a defeat to Napoli in early April, triggered by a dispute over the selection of a third-choice goalkeeper for next season.

This friction coincides with an alarming run of form on the pitch, as the Rossoneri have secured just one victory in their last six matches, leaving Champions League qualification in significant jeopardy.

The current animosity between Allegri and Ibrahimovic mirrors a notorious 2012 clash in the Emirates Stadium locker room following Milan’s Champions League round of 16 second leg against Arsenal.

Curiously, that confrontation also stemmed from a goalkeeping issue, illustrating a relationship that has been fraught with tension since Ibrahimovic’s playing days.

Allegri is said to be frustrated by Ibrahimovic’s perceived interference, which involves the Swede making direct phone calls to star players such as Rafael Leao and Youssouf Fofana to offer tactical advice.

They are said to no longer be on speaking terms, with Ibrahimovic keeping away from the club base. Furthermore, the coach is disgruntled by a lack of transparency regarding the club’s transfer strategy; after being told funds were unavailable in January, the hierarchy suddenly sanctioned a €30 million move for Jean-Philippe Mateta.

Allegri has remained publicly diplomatic despite the chaos, recently stating: “My goal is to stay as long as possible.”
