Alex Jimenez Explains Milan Exit, Apologizes to Allegri After Bournemouth Move

The 20-year-old says he felt denied responsibility at San Siro, citing a no. 2 shirt snub.

Overview

  • Jimenez confirmed he sent a private message calling Massimiliano Allegri a 'sh** coach', said it was a mistake, and stated the coach accepted his apology.
  • He said he asked Milan to seek transfer solutions after concluding he would not be a key player and that the club did not place sufficient trust in him.
  • Jimenez described being refused the no. 2 shirt and told he was too immature, a slight he says disrupted his focus and led to lateness on some occasions.
  • After an initial loan, Bournemouth have made his move permanent for a reported €18.5–20m, and he says he is thriving under manager Andoni Iraola in the Premier League.
  • He noted Milan’s turbulent 2024–25 season with three coaches and an eighth-place finish, praised the club, and left open the possibility of a future return.
