AC Milan’s recent collapse could lead to some big summer alterations, ones that could impact Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Over the past 24 hours, since Milan lost yet another game at home against Atalanta, there has been talk of another imminent revolution. Everyone is in the crosshairs, and missing out on a Champions League spot could be the spark that sets off yet another ‘big bang’ revolution.

Ibrahimovic to profit
According to Corriere della Sera (via Calciomercato.com), Ibrahimovic is ‘said to be waiting in the background for a possible new change at the top of the club’. Having been sidelined a bit over the past few months, the changes could see him rise to prominence again.
Owner Gerry Cardinale is based is considering making changes that could spare no one. The person who could benefit from the possible departure of sporting director Igli Tare and CEO Giorgio Furlani is Zlatan.
Having been a partner of Cardinale since December 2023, the Swede is involved in various RedBird activities with a focus primarily on the sporting side. Last season he had been the link between the management and the team, but had taken more of a back seat in 2025-26.
He also oversaw (in tandem with the new director Jovan Kirovski) the creation and growth of the second team project, Milan Futuro. That is now in its second year and recently eliminated from the Serie D play-offs after being relegated from Serie C last season.
The unfortunate outcome and conclusion of last season (finishing eighth, with two failed coaching appointments) led Ibrahimovic to increasingly withdraw, starting in the summer when Igli Tare was appointed sporting director and Massimiliano Allegri was appointed coach.
Now, Corriere della Sera conclude, his possible return with a more prominent role would once again become a topic of discussion if Cardinale were to truly undertake a thorough overhaul of the entire sporting side.
Bojkotta Milan tills Snackpåsen Zlatan och andra clownerna försvinner. Totalt odugliga
Are we really solving anything by bumping him up, and to what position exactly? The problem is the cumbersome hierarchy with no clear roles and responsibilities. Ibra has been fingered to also go on ego trips with no interest in the well being of Milan by recommending conveniences which does not add to the solutions. Overhaul means exactly that, cut your losses and decouple from legacy issues…Milan’s issues are so entrenched that you should not stop at moving rotten apples around and think you are solving the problems, but cleaning house rather.
Clown show
Didn’t he already prove his worth, or lack of, when he hired Fonseca over Conte?
Please no
Conte is not nor ever will be the solution. Look at Napoli now. They’ve fallen apart.
😀 Yes, how did not fall apart and is a good candidate for Milan? 😀 Did Inzaghi also fall apart in Saudi Arabia so he is a bad choice? 😀
*who
So scudetto isn’t better than finishing 8th last year?
Great point….
Pushed for Fonseca, hired Kirovski, forced out Calabria, Morata after just 6 months and tried as well with Tomori, interfering with coach’s authority in locker room.
He’s a part of the problem not solution.
Ted you forgot he sack abate because he wasn’t playing with his son
Oh please no
It’s like picking more or less the same level of managerial and sporting incompetence. Which one is a lesser idiot here? hmmmmm… Ibra is a clueless egomaniac. His face should be the meme of the failure that was the last season.
Flipping tables and smoking cigars – 100% Ibra
Building a sustainable project – 100% Not Ibra
After that milan will be dead its for sure
Well, at least we now know where has Zlatan’s tongue been lately… Between Cardinale’s butt-cheeks.
