Andrea Longoni has labelled Zlatan Ibraihimovic’s potential departure from AC Milan as ‘good news’, with his contribution being highly questionable so far.
Ibrahimovic was announced as a RedBird advisor in December 2023 and since then, he has been heavily involved in the Milan operations. From last summer, his involvement ramped up and the result has certainly been mixed, mostly negative even.
In his latest editorial for MilanNews, Andrea Longoni discussed various issues for the Rossoneri, such as the importance of choosing a sporting director quickly. However, he also made it clear that Ibrahimovisc’s departure will be for everyone’s best.
“In all this, Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s departure from the Milan world (partial or definitive, we’ll see) can only be good news. His experience has been a failure so far from every point of view: an exit or a demotion would help to eliminate the damage or at least limit it,” he wrote.
The Futuro project has been one of the main points of criticism as Ibrahimovic fell out with Ignazio Abate, who is second with Ternana in the standings (two points behind the league leaders). The addition of Jovan Kirovski as head of the project has also brought a lot of confusion.
