Zlatan Ibrahimovic Celebrates 45th Birthday With Ferrari F80

Zlatan Ibrahimovic celebrated his 45th birthday by purchasing a new Ferrari F80, continuing a long-standing tradition of marking personal milestones with rare and expensive supercars. Fans across social media reacted to the Ferrari F80 acquisition with jokes suggesting that the vehicle was driving Ibrahimovic rather than the other way around.

Alongside his car purchase, Ibrahimovic maintains his ongoing role as a Senior Advisor to RedBird Capital and Gerry Cardinale. Although many observers view him as a club executive, his official capacity is that of a super-consultant for the ownership group rather than a traditional director focused strictly on day-to-day Milanese operations.

Advisory Role and Strategic Influence

Ibrahimovic acts as a trusted confidant for Cardinale, serving as a bridge between American investors and European football. His involvement with AC Milan is strategic rather than operational. While he takes part in high-level decisions such as selecting the head coach and sporting director, he maintains a hands-off approach toward the coaching staff’s autonomy. This allows managers to handle the squad without his heavy daily presence, following a recent return to the Milanello training ground after a six-month absence.

Ibrahimovic Backs Barcelona to Win Two Trophies

Beyond his responsibilities with the ownership group, Ibrahimovic continues to comment on the broader sport. In a recent media segment regarding predictions for the current campaign, he backed Barcelona to win both the La Liga title and the Champions League trophy under Hansi Flick. Entering his 46th year, his professional arrangement with Cardinale allows him to contribute to the growth of the club while continuing his distinctive path in sports business.
