CorSera: Ibrahimovic’s return would speed up Leao’s leadership development

Zlatan Ibrahimovic returning to AC Milan in a coaching role would speed up Rafael Leao’s journey to becoming a major leader for the club, a report suggests.

As has been written in today’s edition of Corriere della Sera (via Milan News), Leao is growing in importance for Milan after each game but they would still like to see more from him when it comes to leadership.

He took the captain’s armband for the game against Verona at the weekend which was a step in the right direction, and it also shows that Milan would like him to captain the team permanently in the future.

There was a good relationship between Ibrahimovic and Leao when the Swede was a player for the Rossoneri and there is a strong feeling at the club that were Ibrahimovic to return, Leao would greatly benefit.

Ibrahimovic has reportedly been offered a job role at the club going forward.
