Zlatan Ibrahimovic seemed set to end his career as an MLS player, but player agent Mino Raiola had other plans when it came to his client's future.
In an interview with La Repubblica, Raiola admitted that the idea of watching Zlatan join AC Milan for the next six months came from him, mainly because the agent did not want to see his career fade into the night in the North American league.
"The next six months will be like Queen's farewell tour, it will be a massive tribute to his career. It had to take place at San Siro," Raiola said.
The agent addressed the player's arrogance and named the one coach that was crucial to use that arrogance for the greater good.
"'Ibra' is arrogant, and I had to find a way for him to work with others. Capello was the one who accomplished that, because he was the one that showed him how to score goals," the agent added.
Before the interview ended, Raiola looked ahead with high hopes for his client, hinting that the next few months will be anything but dull in the Italian top-flight.
"I couldn't allow his last hurrah to take place in Los Angeles. Zlatan is back in the Serie A to have fun and to show them how to have a good time," Raiola concluded.
