Former AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 42, is back for the third time, taking on a senior advisory role within the club’s ownership and management.

Six months post his playing career, Ibrahimovic, with a stellar 24-year history across clubs like Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, Paris St-Germain, and Manchester United, has achieved league victories in four countries and remains Sweden’s all-time leading goalscorer. 

AC Milan’s owners, RedBird, an American investment firm that acquired the club for £1bn in August 2022, have designated Ibrahimovic as an operating partner, overseeing their sports, media, and entertainment investment portfolio, including AC Milan.
