The tension brewing behind the scenes at AC Milan has reached a boiling point, with reports from Italy claiming that head coach Massimiliano Allegri is now "determined" to leave the club at the end of the season. The catalyst? A reported falling-out with none other than senior advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
It's been a rollercoaster campaign for the Rossoneri. After an impressive 24-match unbeaten run earlier in the season, the team has suffered a dramatic collapse since the start of April, putting their Champions League qualification hopes in serious jeopardy. Currently sitting in fourth place with just two matches remaining, Milan are level on points with fifth-placed Roma and only two points ahead of an ambitious Como side led by Cesc Fabregas.
According to Corriere della Sera, the relationship between Allegri and Ibrahimovic has deteriorated to the point of being "non-existent." The feud reportedly began after Milan's 1-0 loss to Napoli on April 6, with the dispute allegedly stemming from a discussion about the third-choice goalkeeper for the 2026-27 season. Following that argument, Ibrahimovic was noticeably absent from Milanello for several weeks, only recently returning to the training ground.
This isn't the first time tensions have simmered between the two. The report suggests there has always been underlying friction dating back to Allegri's first stint in charge, when he had Ibrahimovic among his center-forward options. Allegri was also reportedly disappointed to discover that Ibrahimovic regularly holds conversations with Antonio Cassano, one of Milan's most vocal and critical voices in recent memory.
With the season winding down and off-field drama mounting, the futures of several key figures at Milan—including directors Giorgio Furlani, Igli Tare, and Geoffrey Moncada—are also reportedly under review. For fans of the Rossoneri, it's shaping up to be a summer of significant change both on and off the pitch.
