Retired striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be welcomed by AC Milan if he decides he wants to be part of the Seria A side in some capacity, according to club’s CEO Giorgio Furlani.
Ibrahimovic officially retired earlier this summer as a member of Milan. However, this doesn’t mean that the 42-year-old striker plans to walk away from soccer altogether. Back in September, there were reports that the club owner Gerry Cardinale and Ibrahimovic had a meeting during which they discussed a potential role in the future.
When asked about it during a recent chat with reporters, Furlani didn’t refute or deny reports and instead said that Ibrahimovic is always welcome to come to the club.
“He’s a Milan legend, he’s thinking about what to do in the future, in the meantime we are ready to welcome him back at (Milan’s training ground) Milanello whenever he wants,” said Furlani.
It is unclear what kind of role would Zlatan Ibrahimovic have with Milan. Reports indicate that he could step into the role of Technical Director previously held by club legend Paolo Maldini. Ibrahimovic is expected to have a meeting with Cardinale again later this year to discuss the details.
Ibrahimovic played six seasons with Milan across two different stints. He helped the club win two Seria A titles while scoring 93 goals in 163 games.
