Zlatan Ibrahimovic has not had the best start to his job and his first year at AC Milan has been difficult. He has been in control of two mercatos, and by this time next week, he may have fired two head coaches.
Milan fans know Ibrahimovic’s character very well, after all, he has been with the club in three spells – twice as a player before his management role. In his current role, he has added pressures and responsibilities, and it could be argued he has not yet adjusted to these.
Of course, Zlatan will always be Zlatan, and there is a certain egocentrism that lingers with him, that is him, though, and if the management did not want that, they would not have hired him. Perhaps, though, he wants to change that image after recent criticisms of his actions.
Earlier in the week, he had a public spat with Zvone Boban, calling himself ‘the Boss’, but since then he has been present at Milanello with a different goal in mind according to Franco Ordine’s column in Il Giornale (via Radio Rossonera).
“Ibrahimovic is changing strategy, he is now a manager at Milan’s bedside. To eradicate the depressed atmosphere following the late night with Liverpool and to try to recharge the group’s batteries and cement Paulo Fonseca’s bench, the ‘boss’ moved to Milanello for a whole day.
“First he attended the training session preceded by a video session dedicated to Inter, then it was hugs and a close “one to one” referring to the problems, not only football ones, that emerged in the Champions League challenge.”
His first and only action as boss should be to hire Tare and let him cook
Agreed with you on that front we need a proper sporting director like we need emergency oxygen, the guys at the top are making one poor decision after the next, I think Furlani Ibra and Moncada are out their depth
Attending the training session won’t change anything, we need compétent managers and enough money to make the quantum leap
100% correct the damage is done and Milan are lying in 10th spot with Cl games looming.
The Milan culture was damaged and never repaired when Cardinali sacked Maldini and Massara, big mistake!
Milan are way behind Inter in every aspect of a successful Football club and management have failed to recover any ground with Furlani defending the late entrance to the transfer market and 20 million budget… really Furlani?
So that being said how is Ibra going to make a difference Ordini before Sundays game?
He isn’t going to make any difference, Ibra is there to show a united front by the club but in all honesty it seems like the damage is done, Ibra and Fonseca are app at odds, our management are incompetent (Fonseca, Royal), we haven’t properly addressed the lack of depth at the fullback positions (Jimenez looks promising but terrociano is nowhere near the lvl). I don’t have much faith in Chuk Musah, a lot of players are struggling for form. At the end of the season when it’s time for Cardinale to take stock, I expect all 3 managers to be fired like Maldini. Cardinale should also accept that Maldini was right….he was right about bringing in a coach better than Pioli, CDK is now performing for Atalanta and we don’t even have Diaz anymore, so we essentially trained and help players acclimate for other teams, we desperately need to increase the lvl of player we buy, pulisic was a win but we need to spend more money on better players
The coach need fi think bout charging strategy play a 3-4-3 formation this way
We stronger in defense
Bez Maldinija i Bobana ovaj Milan izdleda smješno! Ibra dobar igrač ali samodopadni klaun a uz njega Monkada i Furlani tanki u svakom smislu bez autoriteta
Ibra’s biggest mistake after hirring Fonseca is to not fire the guy before the derby ….
my 2 cents …
