Zlatan Ibrahimovic's first move as Senior Advisor of RedBird Capital Partners was to bring Jovan Kirovski to AC Milan. A favor exchange: the new "hybrid" Rossoneri executive brought the Swede to MLS, now the American is landing in Italy thanks to Zlatan. 'Hybrid' because Kirovski will be the link between the first team and Vincenzo Vergine, head of the youth sector: and here too, the hand of the upcoming Rossoneri U23 team can be seen.
As highlighted by Tuttosport, this was one of the ideas on the former player's agenda. But much more is expected from Zlatan Ibrahimovic, especially because Milan wants to become a super club right away, and the former number 11 has full powers to meet Gerry Cardinale's demands. His authority has been confirmed by the owner himself, and after a few months of deafening silence, he is now returning to Milanello daily to always get the best, on and off the field.
As for Stefano Pioli's future, his work has never been opposed by Zlatan, who has even defended him. The excellent relationship and the presence in the Europa League lead to a continuation between the coach and Milan, but everything will also depend on the final results of the season.
Certainly, Pioli is under discussion, but most coaches are. And speaking of coaches, a decision needs to be made regarding the management of the second team: among the candidates (in addition to Daniele Bonera) is Ignazio Abate, a close friend of the Swede. A summer full of surprises is looming. Almost as if the market is passing under the radar. But also in the market decisions, Ibrahimovic will also have his say there, as relayed by Milan Press.
