Diego Milito is backing Zlatan Ibrahimovic's return to AC Milan as a team manager.

The Inter Milan Treble winner is now a sporting director and also a former Nerazurri teammate of Ibrahimovic.

Milito says Ibrahimovic taking a role at Milan can be successful.

He told DAZN: "It is always important to have former players with Ibra's experience, a point of reference, especially for the younger ones.

"It's really important."
