It would be fair to say Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Zvonimir Boban might not be the best of friends at the moment, as the pair shared a spiky exchange before AC Milan’s game against Liverpool last night.
In the past week Boban questioned what Zlatan’s role at Milan is, given that he returned as a Senior Advisor which is not a position that holds a set list of responsibilities like a CEO or a sporting director and therefore gives a broad but also quite vague scope.
Ibrahimovic spoke before Milan-Liverpool last night and, as luck would have it, Boban was on the panel covering the game. Below is a clip of the exchange, and we have translated each of their comments…
Ibrahimovic: “The role is simple, many talk. I’m in charge, I’m the boss and everything else works for me. Even Boban [present in the Sky Italia studios] didn’t understand my role…”
Boban: “Nobody understood, to be honest.”
Ibrahimovic: “I’ll explain now: I’m in charge, I’m the boss and everyone works for me. We work in silence.”
