However, the Frenchman says Ibrahimovic must be allowed to work unshackled.
He told La Gazzetta dello Sport: “Ibra is Ibra, even as a manager. He knows football very well and Milan especially. If you choose Zlatan, as RedBird did, you have to trust: Ibra must have carte blanche.”
Now with LAFC, Giroud has spoken about becoming a sporting director himself.
Asked if he could return to Milan in such a role, he joked: “Milan is one of the biggest clubs in the world and I have lived unforgettable moments with that shirt. I would be very happy. But I don’t want problems with my friend Ibra! I will certainly always remain a big Rossoneri fan.”
