At 41 years old and able to boast an impressive 24-year-long career filled with silverware, the Swede decided it was time to hang up his boots after a season that showed the status of his body.
However, it was never imagined that Zlatan would stay away from football for long, especially not away from Milan – the club, which he expressed several times to be one of his dearest loves and a city where he felt truly at home.
In recent weeks, rumours have swirled regarding what role Zlatan may have with the Rossoneri. When Luca Serafini spoke on Carlo Pellegatti’s Youtube channel (via MilanNews) he said: “He will have a role in Milan and, knowing him, it certainly won’t be a marginal role. He will be an operational consultant, so maybe he will also have a say in the choice of players for example.”
Given the former striker’s time in his most recent spell at the club involved him being a leader in the dressing room, having a role that may allow him to use these same qualities would add another string to Milan’s bow.
