Monday, December 11, the date of Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s second return. A huge moment that is hoped can help turn around AC Milan’s season and future. This time, though, he can only contribute from the sidelines and shadows.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is no newcomer to Milanello, far from it. However, that is a must for Milan in their current situation. The current state of affairs could be attributed to the lack of the Swede’s presence and leadership, or maybe even the lack of Paolo Maldini around Milanello.

However, the concrete information is this. Improvement is needed, and quickly. And RedBird believes Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the correct man to assist the Rossoneri in this current moment, as he has done so often in the past. Arriving in his new ‘dual role’ allows Zlatan several powers in the operations of the Diavolo and RedBird.
The journalist Carlo Nesti has discussed the needs and wishes brought by the Swede’s return, and his comments were relayed by MilanNews.
“Zlatan must be a support for Pioli, without Pioli losing credibility in the locker room.
“In truth, Milan of today still needed an Ibra on the pitch, given Giroud’s 37 years of age and the lack of alternatives,” he said.
Whilst he may not be able to assist Milan anymore on the pitch, he can help those who will represent the Rossoneri. Assisting with their abilities but also the mental conditions needed to represent Milan.
Who else thought it was Nesta? 😅
Why is no one talking about De zerbi and Unai Emery as coach??? Both would do wonderfully well in Italy and Europe
Because DeZerbi is over-rated and not ready for a bigger club while Emery is inconsistent.
Because everyone is mature here and not living in fantasy world…. Except you probably.
There is absolutely ZERO chance that any player or coach who is shining in PL will come to Italy
Also ZERO chance of getting Xabi Alonso
“Losing Credibility” is subjective. How do we gauge how much credibility Pioli still commands?
Pioli has already been undermining the team. He surely needs no extra help from nobody.
If we get more goals and results, by all means, Zlatan, undermine Pioli.
