Milan: Filippo Inzaghi, harsh attack on Max Allegri

Former Milan forward Inzaghi: “I quit because of Allegri.”

Former Milan striker Filippo Inzaghi in his autobiography “The Right Time” spoke about his difficult relationship with Massimiliano Allegri, not sparing broadsides to the Tuscan coach: “It was Allegri who had ended my playing career. In fact, Milan and I had reached an agreement in the spring of 2012 to extend my contract by one year – is an excerpt from the book – I would have been an important glue in the locker room that within a short time had lost Maldini, Pirlo, Nesta, Gattuso, Seedorf. Thick elements that had left a deep void. I was not going to make any claims…. Galliani was happy to have found this solution together with me.”

“Allegri, on the other hand, rejected it, he no longer wanted me in the locker room and told the manager, asking that my contract not be renewed. For me it was a blow.”

Inzaghi confessed that he feared he had ALS: “My body was sending me unmistakable signals of malaise. I got scared. In fact, I say it clearly and without shame: I was scared. I had four gastroscopies and other unpleasant tests, I always traveled with a duffel bag full of CDs with ultrasounds and MRIs that I showed to various specialists. I feared I had something serious, even ALS. They were months of discomfort and suffering, in which I struggled to find a way out. Some call it a sickness of living, some another way, I preferred to dribble definitions and diagnoses and face reality. I understood what the problem was and overcame it little by little, surrounding myself with the love of family. My parents were exceptional: they understood what I needed.”
