Zlatan Ibrahimovic receives brand-new job as he prepares to travel to 2026 World Cup

His presence ensures that even if Sweden fail to navigate their tricky play-off path against Ukraine and potentially Poland or Albania, the "Lion" will still be front and center. The US broadcaster Fox Sports revealed the signing through a cinematic commercial set in Milan, highlighting Ibrahimovic's 24 years of experience and 122 caps for Sweden. Having scored a record 62 goals, he stands as the definitive voice of Swedish football for the American audience as they prepare for a historic summer.

In true Zlatan fashion, the announcement was made with his trademark confidence. The promotional clip features the former Manchester United and Barcelona man sipping coffee in a quiet Milanese square, addressing the viewers directly as the winter season fades.

In the advert, Ibrahimovic says: "Where has everybody gone? The Olympics is over but that is no reason to be sad and depressed. It felt good, no? Cheering for your red, white and blue… all the gold medals, it was nice. But the snow is melting now and you don’t know what to do. You want to watch the best in the world. I bring the American people some good news. Not only is the Fifa World Cup coming to Fox this summer… so is Zlatan. See you soon and you’re welcome, America."
