Former Malmo coach rejects ‘false’ quotes on Ibrahimovic return to Juventus

Stefan Hansson has completely denied reports of him saying that Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic wants to return to Juventus.

The 56-year-old Swedish tactician coached him at Malmo and was previously reported to have suggested that he is regularly in touch with Ibrahimovic and that the former Bianconeri attacker had told him that he wants to return to Turin in the near future.

However, Hansson told SportExpressen.se that he has not spoken to Ibrahimovic in eight years and denied any claims of him suggesting the Swedish striker’s return in a black and white jersey.

He [the journalist] asked me if I had spoken to Zlatan and I told him it was a few years ago, said the former Malmo FF coach.

The next question was about if his return to Juventus and I replied: ‘I haven’t got the slightest idea. You can ask him yourself”.

The Italian from Tuttosport I spoke to, has distorted the whole story: that we have been talking on Skype and that I have the answers to things surrounding his future.

He is now in Paris and he has a good contract. Zlatan is Zlatan and he runs his own race. Zlatan and I spoke to each other eight or nine years ago.

I have met him three or four times. I know his family a bit and I have coached him but, nothing more than that. It is deplorable that it has taken on these kinds of proportions when they find out what I have said.

What the hell are they doing?
