It's been two months since Zlatan Ibrahimovic returned to Milan, officially as a senior advisor to RedBird founder Gerry Cardinale and the AC Milan club management.
Now, his role is a little clearer, as explained by La Gazzetta dello Sport in this morning's print edition.
The newspaper indicates the four main areas in which he is operating: ownership, team, off-field, and youth sector.
Work at Casa Milan...
Ibrahimovic is an active part of the work at Casa Milan, even though he doesn't have a personal office, where he is always welcome and is in contact with all areas of the club, as it should be for a super consultant of his experience in both the football and image worlds.
Ibrahimovic acts as a liason at Milanello between players and management...
Zlatan is also a constant presence at Milanello: he almost always attends team training sessions and engages in discussions with both his former teammates and Stefano Pioli. He acts as a glue but also as a motivator.
The youth sector...
Staying tied to the sports aspect, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been seen at the Puma House of Football more than once in these first two months of his new adventure. Not only because his children are part of the Rossoneri youth sector but because he intends, like the whole club, to keep a very close eye on the Rossoneri champions of tomorrow.
Ibrahimovic's role is also important in marketing operations...
This year there have already been many debutants in the first team grown in the shadow of Vismara. Zlatan Ibrahimovic's off-field experience should not be underestimated either. His role as a marketing expert and in commercial operations, not only in Italy but especially abroad, can be significant: this is precisely because the former PSG and Manchester United star has shown to move very well in this sense during his playing career and can greatly develop Milan in this aspect too.
