Zlatan Ibrahimovic hung up his boots last May after a career spanning more than 20 years. However, he has not left the world of football. Quite the contrary even since he has already made his return to AC Milan by joining its organization chart. He became a special advisor to the majority shareholder, RedBird. It is even up to him to have the difficult task of finding the next coach of the Rossoneri. Stefano Pioli has already understood that the club does not intend to keep him for next season, despite his contract running until June 2025.
The former Swedish striker has found the right person to take over. According to information from La Repubblica, he chose Antonio Conte. Contacts have already been established for a while, to the point of even being “very advanced” according to the Italian newspaper. The two men have never collaborated together but they have mutual respect and admiration. They both have a strong temperament and an unfailing will to win. It remains to set the conditions for the arrival of the Italian coach, who still has a request to satisfy. He wants the means to recruit in the transfer window… which Pioli did not have this winter.
