Where was God when my brother died of leukaemia? – Ibrahimovic on why he isn’t a believer
Swedish footballer Zlatan Ibrahimovic has shared that he does not believe in God due to his life experiences.
He recounted a time when his brother was battling leukaemia and needed urgent intervention to survive. Despite their efforts, his brother passed away.
The former AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) striker questioned why God did not intervene to save his brother, leading to his decision not to believe in God.
Ibrahimovic emphasized that everyone must rely on themselves to navigate life’s challenges.
“I’m not a believer, only I can judge myself. Where was God when my brother died of leukaemia? You are your god. That’s what I believe,” he said in a post shared by Football Talk on X on August 6, 2024.
Ibrahimovic also disclosed that he does not plan to pursue a coaching career after retiring from football due to the demanding nature of the job.
He mentioned that coaching requires working 12 hours a day, which he is not willing to do, preferring to engage in activities that allow him more free time.
“I will never be a coach, they work 12 hours a day, absolutely no free time,” he said, according to Football Talk.
Ibrahimovic is recognized as one of the most prolific strikers in the world, having had successful stints with several European clubs and winning numerous titles.
