Adrien Rabiot has officially joined AC Milan, expressing his delight at the move. The French midfielder highlighted that reuniting with coach Max Allegri, whom he previously worked with at Juventus, was a major reason for his decision to join the Rossoneri.
This transfer highlights the importance of strong player-coach relationships in football. Rabiot’s move was heavily influenced by his trust in Allegri’s vision and ambition. He also took the opportunity to clear the air about a past disagreement with former teammate Jonathan Rowe, showing a desire to start fresh at his new club.
🤝 A Strong Bond with Coach Allegri
Rabiot explained that his connection with coach Max Allegri played a huge part in his move. Having worked together at Juventus, they developed a strong understanding. “I immediately got along well with him,” Rabiot said, noting that they both share a deep passion for football and a strong desire to win. He added that their friendship continued even after Allegri left Juventus, describing him as a “great person” before a great coach.
⚫🔴 Embracing the Milan Atmosphere
Speaking about his new team, Rabiot shared positive first impressions. He described the atmosphere at AC Milan as “great,” with a good mix of experienced and young players who are eager to learn and succeed. He felt welcomed by everyone at the club from day one. The transfer happened quickly near the end of the window after Allegri called him to discuss Milan’s project and ambition, which convinced Rabiot to join.
👋 Clearing the Air with Jonathan Rowe
Rabiot also addressed a past disagreement with former Marseille teammate Jonathan Rowe, who has since moved to Bologna. He clarified that the incident was a “dressing room thing” and has not affected their personal relationship. In fact, the two players have already messaged each other to wish each other well. Rabiot looks forward to seeing Rowe when their new teams face off, emphasizing that there are no hard feelings between them.
