The post-playing career of Zlatan Ibrahimovic is off to a rocky start. Just months into his new role as sporting advisor at AC Milan, the former PSG icon is already facing heavy criticism.
A Nightmare Season for Milan
Milan’s season has been nothing short of disastrous:
- 8th in Serie A with two games remaining
- Defeat in the Coppa Italia final against Bologna (0–1)
- Likely to miss out on Champions League qualification
In this crisis context, Zlatan’s leadership is being questioned.

Questionable Decisions, Fractured Relationships
From the appointment and dismissal of Paulo Fonseca, to the uninspiring tenure of Sergio Conceição, Zlatan’s influence on coaching decisions has failed to spark a turnaround.
More concerning is the relegation of Milan Futuro (the reserve team) to Serie D—seen as a major black mark on his record. The dismissal of youth coach Ignazio Abate, following a dispute involving Ibrahimovic’s son, has sparked internal tension. Abate was well-regarded and his ousting has created friction within the club.
Adding to the chaos: mismanagement of wonderkid Francesco Camarda, who was left out of key matches, further damaging Zlatan’s standing.
With AC Milan owned by the RedBird Capital fund, questions are now being raised about Zlatan’s future at the club. If results and internal cohesion don’t improve quickly, a shake-up could be coming—and Ibrahimovic’s role might be on the line. From legend to liability? Zlatan’s Milan chapter is already at a crossroads.
