Zlatan Ibrahimovic, first strike for Milan.

Jerry Cardinale has designated Zlatan Ibrahimovic as his main collaborator in the management of Milan, and the Swede already has his first strategic move in mind: he wants to introduce Jovan Kirovski into the Rossoneri management. The former U.S. striker, with 62 national team appearances, played in Europe with teams such as Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund, and served as technical director of the Los Angeles Galaxy from 2013 until last January.

È it was in MLS that Kirovski met Ibrahimovic, having helped bring him to the LA Galaxy. Evidently, the bond between the two did not è break when the Swede left the American league to return to AC Milan, where they could now reunite.

Kirovski's arrival at Milan seems very likely, although the role he will assume is still unclear. At the moment, the positions of Furlani and Moncada are not in question, so è it is possible that Kirovski will fill a role that includes both the youth sector and the first team. Details that will require further investigation, but Ibrahimovic è believes that the 48-year-old's inclusion will strengthen the management structure. Kirovski has already visited Milan in the past and closely watched some of the Rossoneri matches from the stands.
