French international Olivier Giroud spoke about his future. A trend is emerging for the AC Milan striker’s post-career.
Olivier Giroud’s future at AC Milan is uncertain. The French striker, who has scored 11 goals and provided 8 assists in 26 appearances for Rossoneri this season, recently shared with the Gazzetta dello Sport his wish to stay in Milan, where he feels “totally fulfilled”. However, the Italian club has not yet made a concrete offer regarding a possible contract extension between the two parties.
“I don’t know yet what will happen. But I know that I feel good here and that I have done great things here, Giroud said. It’s a true love story. We have not yet talked about an extension, we will see and we will decide” The 2018 world champion also mentioned the possibility of joining MLS, but he clarified that he would make a decision at the end of the season, in taking into account his own aspirations and those of his family. “There are also other countries, there will be more opportunities at the end of the season and I will make my decision as a footballer and a father. »
“I don’t think I’ll be a coach”
In the meantime, Giroud has already thought about his post-career. The top scorer in the history of the Blues confided to the Journal du Dimanche last fall of his desire to become sports director. “Football is something where I have a certain legitimacy, and it is my passion, so I think I will stay in football,” explained the native of Chambéry. I don’t think I’ll be a coach, at least for the moment, I don’t have the desire and I don’t know if I’ll have the energy and the will one day, because it’s very demanding. Sports director, it’s a position that I would like because you touch on several things within a club: recruitment policy, the first team, the academy… But I say that today, it can to change. »
