Half a year ago Zlatan Ibrahimovic ended his football career.
Now his future is starting to become clear.
Then “Ibra” receives strong criticism.
It was in June Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 42, made his mark as a professional soccer player. The end came in connection with Milan’s season-ending match against Hellas Verona. Ibra could not hold back the tears when he revealed in his speech on the pitch that he had done his part on the football field.
Zlatan’s future
Since then, there has been speculation about what lies ahead for Zlatan. He already has several companies and projects running, such as his padel halls “Padel Zenter”, the part ownership in Hammarby IF, as well as the fact that he owns a house in Östermalm and acts as a landlord. But despite all the antics, everyone expects the same thing – that Ibra will step into a role in football. Above all in his beloved AC Milan.

Recently, it has also been exactly what has been reported – that Ibrahimovic is getting closer to a role in Milan. Something the club president Paolo Scaroni in principle have confirmed with their statements. But there have also been reports that the 42-year-old was tough in the negotiations and had high demands on his future role in the Serie A club.
The criticism against Ibra
Something he is now criticized for.
“It was only on the field that he knew how to perform miracles”, writes Ivan Zazzaronieditor-in-chief of the Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sports.
Zazzaroni is uncertain about Zlatan’s ability to have a bigger role in Milan. This is because he has no experience in a similar job.
“Can Zlatan become sports manager? I would say no. Is it possible for him to become Stefano Piolis supervisor? Do you think the 58-year-old Scudetto-winning manager needs moral and technical support? In other words no longer able to do it alone? Last season, the Swede was involved in the game. If I remember correctly, Milan finished in fifth place and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League,” he writes.

Despite the questioning of Ibra, Zazzaroni suggests he could be a new one Paolo Maldini (former sporting director in Milan), who also brought some experience to the club shortly after his playing career. But the editor-in-chief’s criticism still overpowers the positive.
“I doubt that Zlatan can solve the small or big problems created by a market decided by a scout with the scout’s mentality, that is to say taking 7-8 good players in the hope that four of them will be excellent. The scout must be a scout, the sports director a sports manager, the coach must train, the chairman must “give speeches” and invest money”.
