Ibrahimovic confronts AC Milan chief, Gazidis after Club announce players pay cuts 48 hours before their Coppa Italia clash with Juventus

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has allegedly questioned the work of AC Milan chief executive Ivan Gazidis saying that the club is 'not what it used to be'. 

It was gathered that Gazidis attended training on Wednesday to confirm pay reductions. 

Ibrahimovic reportedly challenged his timing with the team preparing for their Coppa Italia semi-final with Juventus on Friday.

Corriere dello Sport report that the striker also raised several issues with the former Arsenal owner, including the uncertainty around the club following the sacking of chief football officer Zvonimir Boban and on-going tension with technical director Paolo Maldini.

After not seeing the official since May 4, the striker is alleged to have asked: 'Why have you been away for so long and show up 48 hours before the semi-final?' 

The report claims he went on to claim: 'It’s not the Milan it used to be, there’s too much uncertainty.'

Gazidis is believed to have agreed with the striker, stating: 'Yes, it’s true, Milan aren’t what they were in terms of success and finances.' 

Just so you know, Ibrahimovic won the Serie A title and the Supercoppa Italiana during his first spell with the club between 2010 and 2012.

But Milan have not won the Scudetto since the Swede left the San Siro. 

Milan will travel to Turin for the second leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final on Friday with the game finely balanced at 1-1.
