The statue of <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/football-god-zlatan-more-in-demand-now-than-10-years-ago-271949">Zlatan&nbsp;Ibrahimovic</a>&nbsp;erected in his home city has been attacked again and almost completely removed from its plinth outside Malmo Stadium after vandals sawed it off at the ankles.

AC Milan striker&nbsp;Ibrahimovic&nbsp;was present for the unveiling of the statue in October last year, but he subsequently angered fans in Malmo by acquiring a stake in Stockholm rivals Hammarby and saying that he was going to turn them into Scandinavia's biggest soccer club.

Ibrahimovic&nbsp;made his name at Malmo FF before going on to a trophy-laden career in the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, England, France and the United States.

The nose of the statue was cut off in a pre-Christmas attack but the vandalism this weekend was the most severe yet.

Only the two feet were left on the plinth and the rest of the body was left-leaning over a security fence erected to protect it, connected only by a supporting pole in the right leg.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The words "take away" in Swedish were sprayed on the ground close to the statue.&nbsp;

The 38-year old is expected to make his first appearance since returning to Serie A on Monday when <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/football-ibrahimovic-returns-to-italy-as-final-chapter-looms-270707">AC Milan</a> take on Sampdoria at the San Siro stadium.
