Zlatan Ibrahimovic has ended his career.
But maybe he won’t have to be unemployed for very long.
Now comes new information about the Swedish superstar – after the news that shook Milan.
It was pretty much clear that Zlatan Ibrahimovic would leave Milan. But when he stepped onto the pitch after the last league match, against Hellas Verona, at the San Siro, not many expected him to announce his definitive retirement from football.
Hinted about return
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is one of the most successful footballers of all time, and for over 20 years he has entertained the football world with his stardom and skill. But at the age of 41, Ibrahimovic is thanking him, but before he stepped off the San Siro pitch for the last time ever as a player, he sent a real hint to the Milan fans.
Ibrahimovic flirted with the supporters that he might be eligible for a role within the club in the future.
– I’m saying goodbye to football. But not to you, Ibrahimovic said.
Even though it was only four days since Ibrahimovic left, there has been considerable turbulence in Milan, with several decisions and announcements that have shaken the club, which via its fourth place in the league will be able to play in the Champions League next season as well.

The new data
In recent days, sporting director and legend Paolo Maldini, as well as his close colleague Ricky Massara, have been forced out of the club. The duo have not agreed with owner Gerry Cadinale, particularly over the future direction of the club, and now Milan are without leading figures in the sporting management. And this has led to speculation and rumors about Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Now Calciomercato writes that Ibrahimovic is highly relevant for the role of club manager.
According to the information, Ibrahimovic will be presented with an offer in the coming days, and where the idea is that Milan want him to act as a bridge between the playing squad and the sporting management. Ibrahimovic has previously been praised for his leadership qualities in the playing squad, and it would be a reasonable step for him after retirement.
However, Calciomercato writes that it is unlikely that Zlatan will jump on the assignment, as he is said to want to take some time to think about the next step in life.
