GdS: Super-advisor, frontman, decision maker – Ibrahimovic’s role at Milan | OneFootball

Since Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s return, questions have swirled about what he does daily, and in the mercato, we are seeing a more in-depth view of what the Swede does at AC Milan.

When Ibra’s return was announced, it was done so with the news of a ‘double role’ across RedBird and Milan, which shone some light onto the situation, but there was no tangible title to suggest what exactly he would do.

As time has progressed, we have seen glimpses, and following this mercato, we should have a full understanding of what the role entails.

Nevertheless, Gazzetta dello Sport have attempted to summarise his position, looking into the different aspects of what he does.

The report starts, stating that Gerry Cardinale and the Rossoneri have chosen him as a ‘frontman’ when ‘agenda is important’. It is known that there have been issues from the fanbase about the club’s management, but having a legendary face is helping to heal that image, so to speak.

Of course, he is still studying for his role, and learning daily, but his intervention increases daily. An influential part of the Morata deal, as he looked to secure a deal, and add a personal feel to the club.

It is a case of trust and guarantees, which Ibrahimovic looks to provide as the frontman to the ownership, which is also helping in the renewals for Theo Hernandez and Mike Maignan.

Every movement from the club passes his desk, even if it is only for him to gain an understanding of it, and the same happens at Milanello, where he is everpresent, for the manager and the locker room. For Ibrahimovic, the idea of being one is vital, and he looks to be central to that, keeping the team together, and adding players to it that fit the squad.
