The 42-year-old will make his way back to San Siro only six months after making his retirement.

AC Milan’s owners, American investment firm RedBird, who bought the Serie A club for £1bn in August 2022, have appointed Ibrahimovic as an operating partner across its sports, media and entertainment investment portfolio.

“My love for the Rossoneri will never die and the opportunity to be a part of its future in a meaningful way is something I could only have dreamed of.” Ibrahimovic said.

The 42-year-old has won the Serie A title with the Rossoneri on two separate occasions – 2010/11 and 2021/22 after making his return as a player from the MLS.
