Now, however, a return to the game may be on the cards for the Swede.
AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli has admitted his love for the former striker, and suggested that he could return to the club as a member of his staff.

"No problem in case Zlatan decided to return here."

The Rossoneri have also thus far struggled in their UEFA Champions League campaign. They are yet to register a UCL goal this season, drawing 0-0 with both Newcastle United and Borussia Dortmund, and most recently suffered a 3-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain.
