Giorgio Furlani’s full powers over the sports area could change Ibrahimovic’s role: there are two possibilities for the Swede
Come cambia il ruolo di Ibrahimovic (ANSA) – MilanLive.it
It has been a turbulent week at Milan in all respects. On the field, the team has lost three important league games, following its elimination from the Champions League at the hands of Feyenoord, and has put fourth place at serious risk.Victories against Lecce and Como and problems at Juventus have put the Rossoneri back in the running, and they can now make no more mistakes if they want to hope to get there. Problems also off the field with the alleged internal division between Ibrahimovic and Furlani following the search for a sports director.
After persistent rumors about Igli Tare, who was mainly wanted by the Swede, the CEO flew to the US to talk with Cardinale and reestablish the hierarchy. He will be the one to decide, so Fabio Paratici and others are also back in the running. A stance that, according to rumors in recent weeks, could affect and not a little the future and role of Ibrahimovic. Who has not been seen in Milanello for quite a while….
Ibra, ridimensionamento o addio?
When talking about Ibrahimovic and Milan, one thing must always be clarified: the Swede is not a manager of the Rossoneri but is an Advisor to RedBird and therefore is a figure closely linked to Gerry Cardinale. Whether or not he has affected the choices of the sports area, and thus Fonseca, Conceicao or the market purchases, of recent times has never been clearly understood but the only thing certain is that he has always put his face on it, as he has presented every new arrival in a press conference and also the coaches.

Furlani’s trip to the U.S. to gain complete control of the sports area from Cardinale, however, may have repercussions on Ibrahimovic’s role. According to today’s Corriere dello Sport, the Swede could be downsized: a real consultant, property reference and image man, without any kind of involvement in the choices of the sports area.
Calciomercato.com also does not close, however, to a possible farewell: it all depends on Zlatan’s will, whether or not he will accept a more marginal position and not to be able to influence sporting choices . That, at this point, would remain under the total control of Furlani and, probably, of the new sporting director, with Geoffrey Moncada who could return to his real job (and in which he is definitely better at than the technical director): the talent scout.
