Alex Jimenez Explains Milan Exit, Apologizes to Allegri in Candid Interview

He says a perceived lack of trust—underscored by a shirt-number snub—pushed him to Bournemouth.

Overview

  • Jimenez confirmed he sent a message calling Massimiliano Allegri a “sh** coach,” issued an apology, and says Allegri accepted it.
  • He said he decided to leave after realizing he would not be a key player at Milan and felt the club did not give him the responsibility he deserved.
  • He revealed Milan denied his request for the No. 2 shirt as he was deemed “too immature,” which he says led to a lapse in focus and late arrivals.
  • He recounted asking Milan to find a transfer solution and reports he is thriving at Bournemouth under Andoni Iraola and enjoying Premier League life.
  • He left the door open to a future Milan return and reflected on a turbulent 2024-25 season that featured three coaches and an eighth-place finish.
