Theo Hernandez`s critical remarks upon leaving AC Milan are not an isolated incident. Over the past fifteen years, several other players have expressed their discontent, in various ways, after their time at Milanello came to an end.
Theo Hernandez`s departure message started conventionally, acknowledging “unforgettable years” and thanking teammates and fans. However, he quickly shifted tone, stating: “Milan has always been my priority but, unfortunately, not everything depends on one person. The direction the club has taken and some recent decisions do not reflect the values nor the ambition that brought me here. I leave with my head held high.” This critical farewell from the French defender caused division among AC Milan fans online, with many deeming his comments ungrateful and inappropriate. This isn`t the first instance of a player leaving Milan on bad terms. Looking back over the last fifteen years, several former Rossoneri players have publicly expressed their grievances, either immediately after their departure or sometime later.
