Zlatan Ibrahimovic says he's happy in his team manager role at AC Milan.

The Swede admits Milan owner Gerry Cardinale was determined for him to return to the club.

He told ABTalks: "I'm fine, life is good, I treat myself well. Obviously I stopped playing football eight months ago, now I have a different life, I accepted to stop playing football which was a difficult thing because of my ego, because of that what I think about myself.

"I think I'm the best, I'm still the best, I could go on... but I chose to stop. Why? I want a good life for my family. I wanted to be able to do things with my children, if I had continued, I couldn't do things with my kids because I had knee problems. So I accepted it, I came to a point where I said 'okay, let it go and start a new chapter in your life'."

On his return to Milan, he added: "Cardinale made me an offer that I couldn't refuse. I started working with Milan and I've been at Milan for three or four months and it's going well, I must say."
