It didn’t take long after Zlatan Ibrahimovic retired as a player, until he was back in the football circus. This time as a consultant for AC Milan. When asked what role he actually has at the Serie A club, the answer was in familiar Zlatan style that “he is the one who makes the decisions”. Now Milan is struggling uphill, Zlatan could end up being “wing-clipped” in his role.

Out of the Champions League after losing to Feyenoord. Down to an embarrassing 9th place in Serie A after 29 games. Last season, the club finished in second place, the season before that in 4th place, the 2021/22 season as league champion.

Zlatan has had a prominent role in this case, now Corriere dello Sport reports that there will be big changes.

“It is likely that the Swede will play a more defined role as a consultant. He will give his thoughts, he will be Gerry Cardinale’s contact person, he will also be a public figure, but he will not have the last word, especially on sporting matters, the newspaper writes.

Calciomercato questions whether Zlatan will accept a role without power.

Not only, just putting on the suit and being the boss, Zlatan – other players should ensure results.
