"According to Corriere della Sera (via Calciomercato.com), Ibrahimovic is 'said to be waiting in the background for a possible new change at the top of the club'. Having been sidelined a bit over the past few months, the changes could see him rise to prominence again."
"Owner Gerry Cardinale is based is considering making changes that could spare no one. The person who could benefit from the possible departure of sporting director Igli Tare and CEO Giorgio Furlani is Zlatan."
"Having been a partner of Cardinale since December 2023, the Swede is involved in various RedBird activities with a focus primarily on the sporting side. Last season he had been the link between the management and the team, but had taken more of a back seat in 2025-26."
"The unfortunate outcome and conclusion of last season (finishing eighth, with two failed coaching appointments) led Ibrahimovic to increasingly withdraw, starting in the summer when Igli Tare was appointed sporting director and Massimiliano Allegri was appointed coach. Now, Corriere della Sera conclude, his possible return with a more prominent role would once again become a topic of discussion if Cardinale were to truly undertake a thorough overhaul of the entire sporting side."
Milan’s home loss to Atalanta has intensified calls for major change, with Champions League failure seen as a trigger for another overhaul. Ibrahimovic is described as waiting in the background for a possible shift at the top of the club. Owner Gerry Cardinale is considering changes that could affect multiple executives, including potential departure of sporting director Igli Tare and CEO Giorgio Furlani. Ibrahimovic, involved with RedBird on the sporting side, previously linked management and the team but reduced his presence in 2025-26. He also helped oversee Milan Futuro’s development, which has faced setbacks. After last season’s disappointing results and coaching instability, Ibrahimovic withdrew further, and his return could become a renewed topic if a full sporting overhaul occurs.
