Zlatan Ibrahimovic reveals the reason for not choosing to be a Head Coach

In a recent interview, the former Puskas award winner disclosed the reason behind his decision to refrain from pursuing a head coaching position in the future.

On being questioned, whether he wanted to pursue the position of Head Coach Ibrahimovic stated, "Impossible. During the game I would punch at least two players and after the game eight".

Zlatan has previously expressed that he is not inclined to pursue a coaching role. In an earlier interview with the Athletic, the Swedish had stated, "You see my grey hair? Fully grey hair is after one week as a coach. A coach's life is up to 12 hours per day. You absolutely don't have free time. My role is to connect everything; to be a leader from above and to make sure the structure and organisation work. To keep everybody on their toes."
