Zlatan Ibrahimovic praises Rino Gattuso and Max Allegri ahead of tonight's Serie A clash between Juventus and Milan.

Ibrahimovic and Gattuso were Rossoneri teammates between 2010 and 2012, helping the San Siro club win what is still their most recent Scudetto back in the 2010-11 season.

And the Swede, who has recently signed for Major League Soccer side Los Angeles Galaxy, believes the Diavolo Coach is a born leader and winner.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic praises Rino Gattuso and Max Allegri ahead of tonight's Serie A clash between Juventus and Milan.

Ibrahimovic and Gattuso were Rossoneri teammates between 2010 and 2012, helping the San Siro club win what is still their most recent Scudetto back in the 2010-11 season.

And the Swede, who has recently signed for Major League Soccer side Los Angeles Galaxy, believes the Diavolo Coach is a born leader and winner.

“I know Gattuso as a teammate. You don’t need to explain how to win to Gattuso, he knows very well,” Ibrahimovic said at a Press conference.

“He has a lot of hunger to win, he is doing great things for the club.

“I am happy for him because I like him as a person and I liked him as a player.

“He is someone who motivates you a lot – not just on the pitch but off it as well.

“There aren’t many like him. If I were going to war, he is one person I would take with me.

“He is always by your side if you need it.”

Milan's 2011 title triumph was, of course, overseen by now-Juve boss Allegri.

"Allegri knows what you need to do to win. He won with Milan before, now he is winning with Juventus.

"When I knew Allegri, he was a little bit younger in his career. Now he has more experience, he has done great things."
