AC Milan’s technical director Paolo Maldini has signed a new two-year contract, the Serie A champions announced on Friday.Â
With the signing of Milan legend Paolo Maldini, the seven-time European champions will retain the combination who helped them win the Scudetto.
Maldini worked alongside sporting director Frederic Massara, who has also signed a two-year extension, to take Milan from the doldrums to the top of the Italian game.
“This deal highlights the importance of continuity we see throughout the club as we continue to strengthen and grow,” Milan said in a statement.
The 54-year-old confirmed late last night that he had signed an extension after weeks of delays which almost led to Milan starting the summer transfer window — which opened in Italy on Friday — without their key men.
Maldini is one of the best players in Milan history, having won a slew of titles with his boyhood club over a quarter-century span.
Before retiring in 2009, he had played almost 900 times for Milan, winning the European Cup or Champions League five times and seven Serie A crowns.
