Today’s edition of Repubblica shared the following headline:
“Eclipse of Zlatan. Blunders, revenge, and absences: the downfall of Ibrahimovic, a totem in social crisis.”
According to the well-known newspaper, Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s position seems a bit less secure due to some social media blunders (the video with IShowSpeed featuring an unfortunate homophobic gag was not well-received by RedBird’s management) and certain behaviours by the Swede, such as his rare appearances at Milanello.
There are also other incidents, including “the ‘revenge’ against his former teammate Ignazio Abate, a longtime friend, who, according to rumours, was guilty of not promoting Maximilian Ibrahimovic (born 2006), Zlatan’s eldest son, during the last season when he coached the Primavera (Youth League final). After Abate’s departure, now managing Ternana in Serie C, Zlatan reportedly escalated the situation by first moving Beniamino Abate, Ignazio’s father and the goalkeeper coach, from the Primavera to the women’s team, and then having him fired without notice. This was relayed via MilanNews.it.
