Recent reports suggest that Milan and former striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic are edging closer to a reunion, which would see the Swede given a role in the Rossoneri set-up behind the scenes, but with some responsibilities certain responsibilities for which he does not seem to be responsible.
.
La Gazzetta dello Sport and Calciomercato.com have published articles about Ibrahimovic’s future at Milanello, both suggesting the team lacks an authority figure between the coaching staff and the board of directors.
Some media recently suggested that coach Stefano Pioli has struggled with no one in the role since Paolo Maldini left in June.
However, as a popular figure both in the dressing room and within the club’s board, Ibrahimovic’s appointment is likely to satisfy most of the organization’s ups and downs.
La Gazzetta clarified that there will be firm limits surrounding Ibrahimovic’s alleged role.
He is expected to act as a link between the players and the board, appearing before the press when necessary, but he is not expected to be involved in the club’s recruitment.
Ibrahimovic also doesn’t want to be seen as just a centre-forward, he wants to make a real difference in the team.
However, he will always be allowed to continue to deal with personal matters outside the club at his own pace.
