It’s official, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is ending his football career. An announcement made after his farewell to AC Milan.
He is one of those football players who went down in history. This Sunday, June 4, 2023, Zlatan Ibrahimovic said goodbye to AC Milan. In the process, the Swedish international announced the end of his career. “It’s time to say goodbye to football, not just to you. There are too many emotions now, go Milan and goodbye”, he launched at the microphone, on the ground of the San Siro stadium, after the victory of his partners (3-1). The player returned to AC Milan at the end of 2019. It was with the Italian club that he won the title of Italian champion.
But due to several injuries, the football player practically could not play this season. “We can only thank him for everything he has done for us. And it’s sad that a champion like that no longer plays football”, commented coach Stefano Pioli. But what will he do now? “For the moment, I want to take the time to enjoy what I have done, to savor. You must not decide too quickly, there are too many emotions today. I want to take the summer, think about it and when the situation calms down a bit, we’ll look. Coach or manager, it’s a big responsibility. Coach, you have less freedom than a player to do what you want. But I don’t think I’ll leave the soccer world”
