Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is working as an advisor for Milan and owners RedBird, has been named president of 2024 Kings World Cup.
The former striker hung up his boots at the end of last season, drawing a close to his impressive 24-year playing career. In his last three years at Milan, he proved himself an invaluable member of the squad, acting as a leader as the team won their first Scudetto in a decade.
Ibrahimovic couldn’t stay away from football for long, joining Milan owners RedBird as a senior advisor, working closely with the Rossoneri in a backroom role. Whilst it’s hard to judge his impact yet, recent reports suggested that he’s keen to see Antonio Conte replace Stefano Pioli in the dugout.
Gianluca Di Marzio highlighted how Ibrahimovic has been named as the president of the upcoming 2024 Kings World Cup, a seven-a-side tournament built off the Kings League set up by former Barcelona defender Gerard Pique.
His official job title is the President of the Kings World Cup, and he has been nicknamed the King of Kings for the tournament. He will continue in his role with Milan whilst taking on the new responsibilities.
