Football icon Zlatan Ibrahimovic has marked his 45th birthday in style, gifting himself a brand new Ferrari F80. Known for his appreciation of high-performance machinery, the former striker continues a personal tradition of celebrating milestones with rare and expensive supercars.
Beyond his love for cars, Ibrahimovic remains a significant figure at AC Milan. His official capacity is that of a Senior Advisor to RedBird Capital and Gerry Cardinale. This role is strategic rather than operational; Zlatan acts as a super-consultant for the ownership group, bridging the gap between American investors and the complexities of European football.
Ibrahimovic's involvement is designed to be hands-off regarding daily coaching duties. While he has influenced major appointments like the head coach and sporting director, he avoids interfering with the coaching staff's autonomy. This approach allows the team to operate effectively while he focuses on long-term strategy and the club's financial alignment.
Outside of Milan, Ibrahimovic keeps a close eye on the broader European game. Recently, he expressed confidence in his former club Barcelona, predicting that Hansi Flick’s side is set to secure both the La Liga title and the Champions League trophy this campaign.
