What will Ibrahimovic do after he retires? The new life – Corriere.it

And now? What happens? For Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Sunday evening’s farewell to football is inevitably also the beginning of a new life. Of a new routine, above all. No more training, no more training camps, no more games. No more “adrenaline”, like the title of his successful autobiography. Exactly what scared him until a few weeks ago, before making the lucid decision to say enough. “Now I need to buy time, I don’t have to decide right away, I’ll think about it” he explained himself in the press conference that took place after midnight in the belly of San Siro. For now, therefore, he will not start courses as a coach or as a sports manager, which are mandatory for carrying out that type of activity. Also because the road to the bench doesn’t seem to be in his head, even if you listen to those close to him. “Being a coach or manager is a great responsibility, not as a player, having been a great footballer does not mean that I would be a top player even on the bench, the coach cannot go to the pitch in Ferrari,” smiled Zlatan.

Certainly at the beginning he will devote himself to his (various) entrepreneurial activities. Not only advertising, with the various brands of which he is testimonial, which vary between fashion and chewing gum, up to NFT digital art. Among the companies that Ibrahimovic has created is the financial holding company Ciroo, born in 2016 with the participation of Verratti, Maxwell and Sirigu, then his teammates at PSG. Among his interests there is also the sports business: in a few days he will inaugurate the Padel Zenter, a maxi project that can already count five other branches in Sweden. A new center will then arise in Stockholm, where the former player has several real estate properties, another business of his, the dear old brick.

Ibra will then commute between Sweden and Milan, where, however, he has actually settled together with his family, his wife Helena and their children, in the splendid panoramic apartment in Porta Nuova. Milan today is his real home, he feels great here. It is not difficult to meet him at the library of trees, the botanical garden in piazza Gae Aulenti. In addition to being an entrepreneur, Zlatan now he will also be a full-time dad. Maximilian and Vincent, aged 16 and 15, play in the Rossoneri youth team: their father will often and willingly accompany them to the training camp. “Now I want to enjoy what I did,” admitted Zlatan. His former partner and close friend also told him Massimo Ambrosinivia social media: «From today we start to get serious, enjoy life and those two coins you have put aside!».
