GdS: ‘Avoiding centralisation’ – Ibrahimovic clear on Pochettino-Planes demand

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is opposing the hiring of Ralf Rangnick and he has a plan in place for AC Milan, or at least if he could make the decision.

There has been plenty of talk about the manager and sporting director situations. Indeed, it appears that the club is pretty split about who arrives, which helps no one. Yet, there is no solution being found just yet.

It appears that the divide is only growing, with Ibrahimovic not involved in an extensive interview with Oliver Glasner earlier this week.

If it were up to him, the Austrian may not arrive.

Ibrahimovic’s idea

This morning’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport looked a little further at the Swede’s view point, suggesting that he would more willingly accept a combination of Mauricio Pochettino and Ramon planes. However, this may be supported by his talks with agent Rafaela Pimenta.

The other suggested motive would be that the responsibilities would be split across several people, above all ‘avoiding centralisation’ and leaving him with a ‘heavy say’ still.

For someone who has claimed not to be an employee of the club, it seems strange that he still wants such a large say in the role, especially with his boss not agreeing with his idea…

  1. bro with all due respect… stfu

    with all the report we read, he single-handedly destabilized the group

  2. Is this the only club or organization where the tail is allowed to wag the dog. Not that it matters if there are others, more importantly how long is this going to carry on. We seem stuck in crisis mode with no solution in sight. Not sure if I can take anymore of this mess.

  3. Who the f is actually in charge?

    It’s embarrassing how poorly this club is currently being run.

  4. This is all getting very boring now to be honest. I think I’m going to ban myself from the news sites and just keep my eye out for official statements for the next week.

    The firings and subsequent silence has left a void that the media is filling with slop. The wild contradictions in the articles suggest they know about as much as we do.

  5. Honestly Milan would have been better off keeping everyone they sacked and just getting rid of Ibra instead.

    This is ridiculous.

  6. Nikako mi ne ide u glavu da jedan nasilni seljak koji je več napravio pomutnju u Milanu radeći upravi iza leđa ponovo destabilira GAZDU i radi ono što bi njemu odgovaralo. Ako KARDINALE toga nije svijestan loše se piše našem najdražem klubu !!

  7. Even with just two people left to untangle this disaster, there are still different visions and disagreements…

    1. It was never about numbers, it was about precisely those two same people (+Furlani) being incompetent egomaniacs with complete lack of understanding how to manage a football club.

  8. Let’s put it this way… Who the f*** cares what Zlatan wants or demands? Cardinale shouldn’t either.

  9. I loved Ibra as a player; but he’s not doing well in this role.

    Glasner is the best available candidate clearly; but Ibra doesn’t see that. Big mistake. Glasner has done nothing but WIN … first at LASK having the club’s best seasons/streak ever; then at Wolfsburg qualifying that club for Champions League; then won Europa League with Frankfurt and made multiple Pokal Finals and now won 3 major trophies with Crystal Palace in only 12 months after that 120 year club had ZERO trophies. HIRE HIM!

  10. Yes in Ibra we trust he have the ideas and I supported Ibrahimovic view Mauricio Pochettino and Ramon planes so you expect Ralf ragnick to come and control Milan entire and he doesn’t know Milan history it can’t work Glasner and Ralf ragnick can’t work in Milan trust me my talk will come to pass. Pochettino is the right man here.
