Ibrahimovic offered to play at Manchester City and Coach Ibra

Swedish forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic revealed in an interview that before sigining with Manchester United, he had an opportunity on two separate occasions to play for Manchester City and also Arsenal.  He never specified weather or not the Manchester City offer was made before or after Pep Guardiola took reign of the team.  Ultimately, what made his decision easier for him was the possibility of working with Jose Mourinho again.  He told the Sun Paper from England, "Mourinho is the mastermind, the masterbrain.  He knows what he needs to do to win.  I learned a lot from him at Inter.  Who wouldn't want to have Mourinho as manager?"  Having only spent one year with the Portuguese at the San Siro, Ibrahimovic has stated in the past how much he regrets not spending more time with the Portuguese manager.

Zlatan also stated his desire to coach, he said that he would start taking his coaching badges to become a manager in January of 2017.  The Swedish legend has already spoken to Jose Mourinho about what to do after his playing days are over.  Even though he said he still has atleast two or three years of playing left, he plans on starting his coaching exams early next year and finishing them up next summer.  When asked where he would like to land a manager job, Zlatan looks to be leaning towards the Italian Serie A League.

From the looks of it, Zlatan has been getting his feet wet already in the coaching departments with reports coming last week from the training grounds of Manchester United saying how the Swede has been coaching the younger strikers including Marcus Rashford.  The ex-PSG star has also been staying behind after practice is over at United's Carrington training complex to teach the youngsters his shooting techniques.  Currently Ibra has been enjoying a great start to Manchester United's season scoring four goals in four appearances.  Because of this great start he's enjoying a four day extended break granted by Mourinho during the international break to recover.
