ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC has been told to stick to football after throwing a dreadful first pitch at a New York Yankees game.
The legendary striker retired last year and he has since taken up a role as an advisor for RedBird Capital, who own one of his former clubs AC Milan.
He had an illustrious career playing for some of the biggest clubs in Europe and won plenty of silverware.
But in New York he showed his baseball skills needed plenty of work after a terrible opening pitch at the New York Yankees vs Toronto Blue Jays.
Ibrahimovic’s throw ended up very wayward and the Catcher was forced to leave his position and stretch to his left to catch the ball.
The pair then embraced and Ibrahimovic looked pleased with his effort, though fans watching on were not impressed.
