"It was rubbish, I don't think Allegri is a sh** coach and his history proves that. I was coming out of a game, I hadn't played and I was angry, I chose the wrong person to send that message to. From day one, I apologised to Allegri, I didn't think about what I was writing. He accepted my apology."
"All these situations took away from my sense of serenity, and I was the one who told the club to look for solutions [in the transfer market]. Milan is a club that I love and I didn't want to feel bad or negatively impact the team with my bad phase. I don't think it was ever a problem with the coaches, it was a team problem."
Alex Jimenez, a Spanish full-back who transferred from AC Milan to Bournemouth, revealed that he apologized to Massimiliano Allegri after leaked text messages showed him criticizing the coach. Jimenez, who came through Real Madrid's academy before joining Milan, experienced a turbulent 2024-25 season marked by multiple managerial changes. He sent the insulting message while frustrated about limited playing time and has since regretted his words. Jimenez emphasized that Allegri's extensive history proves his coaching quality and that the apology was accepted. He attributed his struggles to broader team issues rather than coaching problems, noting that his emotional turmoil prompted him to request a transfer to restore his peace of mind.
