The June 4, 2023in the presence of a packed San Siro, Zlatan Ibrahimovic announced his farewell to Milan and football, at the end of a legendary career. Tomorrow, just over a year later, the Swede he will return to speaking as a Rossoneri member: will do this inside a Press conference organized in Milanello, starting at 11.40, which the club – today on social media – presented as a “far-sighted vision” of the next 2024/2025 season. And it is probably no coincidence that the event arrives the day after thestart of the season ticket campaign.
Ball to Ibra
After a few months away from the fields, in Zlatan Ibrahimovic returned to Milan in December. His long-awaited return to society was officially greeted with the role of Senior Advisor to Redbird and the Rossoneri management. And if the Rossoneri fans were hoping for sudden changes, they were disappointed. There presence of the Swede alongside the team – at Milanello, at San Siro or away – it has never been missing and this must be underlined, especially from the perspective of experience to bring into the team group. What was seen less was Zlatan Ibrahimovic as manager. The press conference set for tomorrow, however, straddles two seasons that mark among other things the end of one cycle and the beginning of another, they already make something clear. In all likelihood, the former Rossoneri number 11 has exploited his first six months as Rossoneri manager almost like a internshiptaking advantage of the opportunity to work alongside the trio Furlani, Moncada and D’Ottavio and learning as much as possible. The entry into the current season and the lack of experience behind the desk made it necessary. With tomorrow’s press conference, however, it almost seems that the ball goes back to Zlatan’s feet who evidently feels ready to put his face on it even as a manager.
What to expect?
So what Ibra will talk about? Clearly, after months of questioning what Zlatan’s duties and responsibilities were as a manager, it is very likely that the first questions will focus on Zlatan’s role within the company. And therefore what the Swede intends to concretely deal with in this new role. Secondly, it seems almost certain that tomorrow morning – in an event presented as the presentation of the next season – Paulo Fonseca will be made official as the new coach of Milan. This will also give you the opportunity to understand and investigate real reasons which led to the choice of the Lusitanian coach, formerly of Roma and Lille. And then they will be illustrated and clarified club strategies at a sporting level and beyond for the coming year. In particular, given the much chatter these days, they are expected clarifications on market movements and it is possible that some names slip out, above all that of Joshua Zirkzee that the Rossoneri intend to make the Devil’s next number 9. A real baptism of fire in Ibrahimovic’s new managerial role which, from this summer, will actually begin take on his responsibilities in this management role.
