May 16th According to the "Milan Sports" report, Milan performed poorly this season, and Ibrahimovic, who served as an adviser, was also questioned.

Milan was eliminated early in the Champions League this season, lost to Bologna in the Italian Cup final, ranked eighth in the Serie A standings, and there is little hope of qualifying for the Champions League next season. Milan CEO Frani has made it clear that "this is a failed season." The Milan Sports Daily believes that all Milan executives, including Ibrahimovic, Frani and Moncada, must be responsible for their failures this season.

Last summer, Milan executives chose Fonseca as the head coach, but fired Fonseca at the end of last year. Concesan took office immediately, but it was difficult for him to keep Teo and Leo at the same intensity and rhythm of the game in Milan. "Milan Sports" believes that in these two coaching elections, both Moncada and Ibrahimovic made mistakes.

In the winter transfer market, Milan spent 28.5 million euros plus bonus to buy Mexican striker S-Jimenez, and also loaned Felix, Walker and signed Bondo. At that time, Ibrahimovic praised the new player, saying that S-Jimenez was "the killer in the penalty area" and that Felix was "a fantastic player." But these new players did not perform well in the second half of this season.

Although Ibrahimovic was a top striker when playing football, his vision didn't seem very good when he was a consultant. In contrast, Moncada has led Milan to sign successful signings such as Reindez and Pulisic in the past, but Ibrahimovic has no choice to sign.

In addition, Ibrahimovic does not have much authority in the Milan locker room, and his relationship with his past teammates Teo and Leo is not very close. Teo and Leo have not had many high-intensity games this season, most of which are low-paced and low-level games, but Ibrahimovic has never been able to persuade these two core players to perform better.

Ibrahimovic has been a senior adviser to the Milan club since December 2023. Milan owner Cardinale once announced: "With Ibrahimovic's assistance, even if I live in the United States, I am like in Milan. He is my spokesperson for the club. He can communicate with the club staff and players as my representative, and have credibility that no one can match. He speaks on my behalf."

Cardinale originally wanted to use Ibrahimovic's global influence, but now looking at the comments on Ibrahimovic on social media, we can know that Milan fans have begun to question him and criticize him, believing that his series of wrong operations have had a negative impact on Milan this season. "Milan Sports" said Cardinale is now disappointed with Ibrahimovic, and the club's sports management has also been criticized. But this time Cardinale will not replace the management, but is preparing to hire a new sports director to solve the problem.
