AC Milan announced the sackings of Massimiliano Allegri, Igli Tare, Geoffrey Moncada, and Giorgio Furlani in a single ownership statement. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is expected to play a key role in selecting strategic positions within the club, including sporting director and head coach. After the decision following a defeat to Cagliari, Ibrahimovic is also set to work in the USA for Fox Sports. In an interview with Tom Brady for Fox Sports, Ibrahimovic described growing up in a difficult social background and how that shaped his ambition. He recalled a teammate’s warning at age 17 that failure would be his fault, which led him to focus on deciding his own destiny and working harder to earn opportunities.
"The Swede will play a key role in selecting certain strategic positions within the club, such as the sporting director and head coach. This is the final decision made by Gerry Cardinale immediately after the defeat on the pitch against Cagliari, but soon Zlatan is heading to the USA to work for Fox Sports."
"Speaking of which, Ibrahimovic gave a long interview to FOX Sports, speaking with Tom Brady about all things to do with his upbringing and his new life as a director at Milan. His words are via MilanVibes."
"Obviously, I came from a different social background than others. Many people with my same background didn't have the success I did, precisely because I started from a difficult situation."
"That phrase made me think deeply about its true meaning. I realised that it was all up to me, that I had to decide my own destiny and that I simply had to work hard to achieve it. I've always had complete faith that I could do it."
