The 44-year-old represented Milan, Inter, Juventus, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and Ajax during his playing days, and though he has worked under some of the game’s greatest ever tacticians, including Jose Mourinho, Pep Guardiola, Carlo Ancelotti and Fabio Capello, there are still some coaches Ibrahimovic wishes he could have worked with.

“(Alex) Ferguson and (Jurgen) Klopp,” Ibrahimovic said when asked which coaches he wishes he could have played for.
