Carlo Pellegatti is of the opinion that AC Milan should consider bringing Zlatan Ibrahimovic back to the club in some capacity, but there are certain challenges that need to be addressed.
Milan recently faced a challenging phase in their season, suffering a 1-0 loss to Juventus over the weekend and a 3-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday.
These setbacks have raised uncertainties that the Rossoneri encountered at the start of the season, and a solution is required, especially with the upcoming game against Napoli on Sunday.
Another consecutive defeat would likely lead to discontent among Milan’s fans. Speaking on Radio Rossonera, Carlo Pellegatti expressed the need for Ibrahimovic’s return to Milanello, stating, “Now it’s late, we need Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and it’s already late. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but be careful, don’t be silly. This is help for Pioli, who cannot do everything, coaches are not confessors.”
He emphasized the need for a figure who can delve into the details of the team’s issues and exchange opinions with the coach, much like what Italo Galbiati did for Fabio Capello in the past.
Pellegatti suggested appointing Ibrahimovic as a personal consultant for Gerry Cardinale and the team, with the power to collaborate closely with the coach. The idea is to have Ibrahimovic work alongside the coach and club management to address the team’s problems.
However, Pellegatti acknowledged there might be an economic hurdle to overcome, but he believed that with the right approach, it could be resolved. He suggested that a phone call from Pioli and convincing words from Gerry Cardinale, who is seen as a great owner and entrepreneur, could potentially make this collaboration happen, allowing everyone to work together effectively.
In essence, Pellegatti is advocating for Zlatan Ibrahimovic to return to AC Milan in a consulting role to provide insights and support to the team and coach during a challenging period.
