Ex-AC Milan coach Capello slams Ibrahimovic Sanremo jaunt: Show respect to the club and fans!

Former AC Milan coach Fabio Capello is unimpressed by Zlatan Ibrahimovic committing to the Sanremo music festival in March.

Organisers have announced the Swede will be present, which puts his place for the Serie A game against Udinese in doubt.

Ibrahimovic has permission from Milan, but Capello rapped: "I would not have sent him at such a delicate moment. You get paid by the club and you have to have respect for the club and the fans.

"The club should have forbidden him, albeit with all due respect. You can't commute from Sanremo-Milanello, he wanted to go but if you are someone who conveys seriousness and a desire to win, then you accept you're going into contradiction."
