Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the ex-AC Milan icon, displayed his football skills during a Christmas break in Miami, Florida, amidst his recent role with the club. Sporting swimming trunks and trendy shades, the 42-year-old flaunted his athletic physique on the beach.

The former Malmo icon is regarded as one of the greatest strikers of all time and boasts an impressive trophy haul of 34 titles. The Swedish international stands out as one of the select few players to grace the major European leagues, being a part of AC Milan, Inter, and Juventus in the Serie A, PSG in Ligue 1, Manchester United in the Premier League, Ajax in the Dutch Eredivisie, and Barcelona in La Liga. Despite scoring more than 500 goals in his career, he failed to ever win the UCL.

Following his retirement in June 2023, he took up a managerial role overseeing Milan’s operations. Currently holidaying in Miami with his wife, Helena Seger, Zlatan was spotted at the beach on Boxing Day. While on the beach, the former United star was seen kicking the ball around in the sand, while showcasing that he has not lost his intricate touch and football prowess.

Additionally, he was observed purchasing a beverage at a bar, taking a swim in the ocean, and posing for pictures alongside his fans. His presence at the beach created a stir among the beach-goers. Even after retiring from playing in 2023, the Swedish player maintained ties with football. Alongside him, Rio Ferdinand, another former United player, is also relishing his Christmas break with a family getaway to the Maldives.

Zlatan Ibrahimović has taken on an advisory role within AC Milan’s management and ownership, actively participating in the club’s strategies. His involvement follows the dismissal of club legend, Paolo Maldini from the position of technical director.

Ibrahimović collaborates closely with RedBird founder Gerry Cardinale to enhance the investment firm’s sports, media, and entertainment portfolio while identifying fresh opportunities. He also guides AC Milan’s manager Stefano Pioli and aids chief executive Giorgio Furlani in expanding the club’s global brand.
