Zlatan Ibrahimovic, is described by Calciomercato.com as the 'top player' in the Rossoneri management (even though he is not formally part of it). In the coming months, Ibra will be called upon to take some important steps.
Ibrahimovic, who has the trust of Gerry Cardinale, has so far been instrumental in advancing the candidacy of Jovan Kirovski, who as sporting director of the Los Angeles Galaxy in MLS comes to Milan to take care of the Under 23 team.
Much more is expected from the former Swedish striker, however. In fact, besides saying things that have a mental and emotional impact on the spirit of the locker room and the self-esteem of the players, Ibrahimovic will also have to dispense decisive advice on the transfer market and the coach.
Within what will always and in any case be a team effort, together with Furlani, Moncada, and D'Ottavio, Ibra's word will still carry significant weight, both for Cardinale's choices regarding authorizing purchases and sales, and for the decision regarding the coach, with Stefano Pioli still favoured for confirmation but under scrutiny, especially after the defeat against Roma in the Europa League.
In a difficult end to the season, with qualification for the Europa League semi-finals to be achieved with an away feat, and with a derby defeat to be avoided at all costs, to avoid the risk of seeing Inter win the Scudetto on that day, and then with a transfer market in which, according to Furlani, "Milan will not be shy", the ball now passes to the former Swedish striker to make the difference.
