Zlatan Ibrahimovic has returned to AC Milan, this time as a senior advisor across sporting and business operations.

The owners of the Italian club RedBird Capital Partners announced Ibrahimovic's return on Monday stating that his role will include brand development as well as player development.

The Swedish player retired from football in June 2023.

He scored 511 goals for clubs including Paris St-Germain, Manchester United and both AC and Inter Milan, winning league titles in four countries.

Ibrahimovic won 34 trophies - including 14 league titles - in a career that began in the last century and was nominated for the Ballon d'Or 11 times.

The one major club trophy that eluded him was the Champions League, with his only European title coming with Manchester United in the shape of the 2017 Europa League.

Ibrahimovic began his second spell with AC Milan in early 2020, having won the Scudetto with them in 2011, and helped them win the title again in 2022.

The striker also retired as Sweden's all-time top scorer with 62 international goals in 122 matches.
