The internal power struggle at AC Milan will lead Gerry Cardinale to make a choice between Massimiliano Allegri and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
In the past few days, reports have emerged suggesting that Ibrahimovic and Allegri are no longer on speaking terms. Sources have alleged that the senior advisor and the head coach have disagreed over certain things, with the Swede even having done some talking behind the manager’s back.

There have even been some worrying accusations that Ibrahimovic called certain players within the squad and told them that Allegri has no plans to rely on them for next season, which would certainly cause a stir if indeed they are true.
Cardinale at a crossroads
In his latest column for MilanNews, journalist Pietro Mazzara spoke about the decision that the owner Cardinale faces, given that once the season is done he will likely have to pick someone to back.
“The Rossoneri owner is at a crossroads: support the coach with whom he discussed the season and future plans, or continue to indulge Zlatan, who was once again the obvious absentee from the team’s ranks?” he began.
“How can Cardinale remain insensitive and indifferent to Ibra’s self-sabotage by calling some players and revealing Allegri’s desire not to include them in the squad for next season?
“This is called a ‘breach of company secrets’ and has caused significant damage, as it all happened after an internal club meeting and during the season, with the Champions League objective gradually slipping away, in a climate of constant and growing dissatisfaction and protest.
“It’s unclear whether there will be only one choice: either Allegri or Ibrahimovic, with the latter eroding the aura he created during his two spells as a player at Milan. It’s a complex puzzle, which also affects Giorgio Furlani and every area of the club.”
I am glad Pulisic got the message about his fit at ACM. Ibra did help lower his transfer fee.
So basically truth is, Zlatan called players, which were on list, that Allegri prepared for Cardinale to be sold next season.
Zlatan called those players telling them, Allegri dont count on them next season.
After that wee see collective drop of form from everyone. Because list included Pulisic, Leao, Tomori, Ruben, Fofana, and thats almost half of first team players.
Zlatan is idiot, and he shouldnt be near Milan any more.
Lets just also mention that Abate left to Juve Stabio because Maximilian havent be used like Zlatan wanted in Futuro team.
By the way you can see in games against Genoa, how Zkatan is not sitting next to Cardinale and is not watching the game.
“Lets just also mention that Abate left to Juve Stabio because Maximilian havent be used like Zlatan wanted in Futuro team.”
There is no truth in that.
Not truth. Rumors. But yes, Zlatan needs to be nowhere near Milan with or without Allegri.
The fact that you would believe any of this makes you the idiot. All gossip and rumors. Allegri has a lot of friends in the media. The same types that were pushing for him to get the job, making excuses for his team’s performance and even spreading rumors that Real Madrid wanted him. I bet you believed that one too.
source?
Whoever wins, the fans lose
iznogoud is no good, iznogoud is the snitch, f rat
Zlatan definitely needs to go after this season if this is true.
Hopefully Allegri also goes regardless of the result of the last game goes. We should thank him for his services, but this style of play will never win the Scudetto or compete with the best teams in Europe.
Well well well
Neither of them shud be near the club, nor shud Tare
Tare is doing his job my friend. Furlani can take Ibra and Allegrino and find another home
Ibrahimovic must go regardless of what happens to Allegri and Tare
This a completely fabricated story. Ibra is what holds this garbage team together. He should choose our next coach, tbh.
It is not his job to do that.
LOL. All this comes down to failed ownership. Starts at the top in selecting the people you hire. First Gerry who fired MM and hired Furlani who has zero clue on how to run a football club. Furlani them with failed coaching hires, directors or sport and coach not to mention ANOTHER FAILED transfer campaign. The accountability. YOU Gerry hired these people and because of that our club is a disorganized, in-fighting, cess-pool mess. Like I said it starts at the top.
furlani was hired by elliott. he replaced ivan gazidis mid season. he was always elliott employee.
but i agree, fish always rots from the head. gerry needs to pull his head out of his arse and hire proper eperienced football people to run sporting side of the club. furlani, should do business side and not get involved in football.
What do you think Tare and Allegri are, newbs?!?!?
It’s one thing being an important player and it’s another being a sensible senior management figure in the scheme of things! Get lost Ibra before we start hating you
Ibra is on the board of Redbird, he cant be fired, he is technically above Ac Milan.
What happened: is he prolly read an article about Trump he doesnt like, and called pulisic and cussed him out. The way he talked about Pulisic when ibra first joined Redbird was incredibly Insulting, it was wild when he Singled him out in interviews and called him, CP a Weak player.
Calm down all,..
This is just a story created by somebody.
The point is.. This Milan Deserves worse coach and worse sporting director/advisor. end.
BETTER, not worse!!!
now everything makes sense.
maybe zlatan did all the same against Maldini too?
shame on ibrahimovic, a traitor! get him away from our club and never ever mention him again.
Yes, I’m sure this all happened!
