Gerrard, Cole, Giovani and Zlatan – Kirovski’s coups with LA Galaxy

AC Milan could soon be acquiring something of a transfer specialist in the form of Jovan Krovski, who Zlatan Ibrahimovic could bring to the club to work in the youth sector. 

Kirovski is the director who signed Ibrahimovic for LA Galaxy in the latter stages of his career, but as La Gazzetta dello Sport have reported, he is not the only big name that Kirovski was able to sign.

Kirovski could become the sporting director with a focus on the new B Team that might compete in Serie A next season, as per a rule change to the Italian football ladder. Kirovski’s biggest coup has to be Ibrahimovic, who he signed on a free transfer after the Swede had departed Manchester United. He was MLS’ most notable import at the time.

Before that, he signed the talented Giovani Dos Santos from Villarreal for just over €6m, which proved to be a very successful signing.

He also signed some very prominent English names, with Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard spending time at LA Galaxy and former Chelsea star Andy Cole also popping up in the USA.

Nigel de Jong, Javier Hernandez and Douglas Costa were all signed by Kirovski, and he also offered a fresh start to Barcelona midfielder Riqui Puig who had lost his way with the Blaugrana.
