Massimiliano Allegri’s frustration towards Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s influence seems to have been justified, if Monica Colombo is to be believed.
It seems like a lifetime ago, but just over a week ago Milan lost the season finale at San Siro against Cagliari, thus losing their place in next season’s Champions League and having to settle for the Europa League.

The late-season collapse has seen a major fall-out, while reports spoke of Ibrahimovic and Allegri not even been on speaking terms. The tense atmosphere around the club may have sapped focus and energy from the team, which ultimately led to the sacking of the coach.
Ibrahimovic’s controversial call
Monica Colombo – a journalist for Corriere della Sera – spoke on Tutti Convocati on Radio 24. She spoke about how Allegri has tried to keep the dressing room protected from external interference but was unable to.
“I believe Allegri tried to isolate the group at Milanello from external influences. At the moment in the meeting where he told Ibrahimovic to sell five players – including Leao and Loftus-Cheek – and he called them, this did not help them to row in the same direction,” she said (via MilanNews).
As a reminder, Colombo also revealed that Zlatan and Max had to be ‘physically separated’ during a heated altercation at a Milanese restaurant by Igli Tare and Giorgio Furlani, who have also been sacked since too.

Like for 99% of reports. If that’s a problem for you have to basically read official communications only.
Because it is about Ibra is no reason to suddenly pull the “source!” card.
The only thing dumber than this article are the people who believe it.
I don’t know why you guys are not seeing Allegri sacking as a good option for Milan. I don’t care who caused it but it’s okay he he left with his garbage football pattern. Leap is not a central striker. No champions league and no Allegri is better with a champions league and Allegri still the coach because he will disgrace Milan in Europe
No Allegri + CL is far better, it isn’t even close.
Also this behavior of Ibra damages us for all managers, coaches, directors. No one wants an environment like that.
Plastic fans like you are why we are in this pathetic position. None of what you’ve written makes any economical or sporting sense. If you’re ok with garbage advisors destroying whole seasons for the players and the coach, why do you even bother supporting the team? May as well follow “the lion” in all of his adventures or simply cheer for Allegri’s teams to lose. It won’t require watching actual Milan matches at the slightest.
Maldini FC, you’re the plastic fan who WANTS the directors to fail, that’s how irrational and unhinged you are. Weren’t you wishing they were dead?! The real fans want them to succeed because if they succeed, the club succeeds.
Correct allegri style of play in football in good he no good coach he wud never get call for Barcelona, realmadrid ,Munich,city even lower team wud call him if there want to improve they football style he lost with juventus two finals because he only no defense football when he can say he likes winning one nil what type off football you expects
He wouldn’t disgrace Milan in Europe (he’d do better than Conte for example), but the team wouldn’t go anywhere either. He lost the players and we’d have the same issues all over again.
I chuckle at the thought of trying to hold a productive meeting or a constructive strategy session with Ibrahimovic present. He can’t step outside himself and look around.
Släng ut parian snackpåsen Zlatan. Jubelidiot
selling leao would have been smart. allegri’s plan with him failed.
I will keep Leao than keeping Allegri, but it doesn’t matter anymore
*shocked*
Allegri left, Mike and Rabiot rumored to want to leave. Leao confirmed to want to leave. Modric not re-signing with us. RLC, Tomori, Fofana likely going to be let go of. Pulisic also a doubt to stay.
Since Tare and Allegri are gone, no Gila, no Vlahovic, no Bremer, no Moise Kean, no Goretzka.
We start the season with Nkunku and Estupinan I guess.
The joys of being a Milan fan.
