Today marks the formal start of AC Milan’s “new era” as Zlatan Ibrahimovic gets ready for a news conference.
According to a report by Calciomercato.com, this marks the subsequent milestone following the departure of Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara and the entrance of RedBird Capital as owners in the summer of 2022.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, another icon, was named Senior Advisor by Gerry Cardinale towards the close of last year, and he now oversees the club. Today, he will be required to make his official debut speaking to the media.
What can we anticipate? He is anticipated to first announce that Paulo Fonseca will take over as head coach. The Portuguese, who was recognized months prior in the list of contenders, won due to his skill in mentoring young players and his international experience.
Although Fonseca’s preferred formation—4-2-3-1, which Pioli mostly employed—it is believed that he may occasionally display flexibility by switching a player from the attacking midfield to the midfield, as Ibra alluded to on social media, to create a 4-3-3.
However, since Joshua Zirkzee needs to fly to Germany for the European Championships and there are still some concerns to be sorted regarding the commissions to be paid to the agent, today will not be the day that Milan announces Joshua Zirkzee as their new striker.
To be cleared before more teams can enter the race is the final hurdle. One of Zirkzee’s idols, Ibrahimovic, was crucial in persuading the Dutchman, but the team now needs to work out a commission arrangement with his agency.
