Milan, Maldini signed for two years: “Now we can plan the future”

The signing of Paolo Maldini has finally arrived: the Rossoneri flag will remain the technical director of Milan for another two years. The official announcement has not (yet) arrived (the lights at Casa Milan remained on until after 10 pm) because the counter-signature of the property is missing, but at this point it is a technicality that does not prevent the closure of a soap opera that kept all the fans in suspense. The agreement between AC Milan and the managers of the sports area guarantees a painful but awaited and important happy ending: the director Paolo Maldini and the director Frederic Massara will continue their adventure in the Italian champion team. “It’s all right, at the last minute we renewed – the words of the former captain on leaving Casa Milan -. We are happy to be here and for the season, to plan an always winning future. How will Milan be? Now let’s see,” there is time. We started a bit late but we will make up for it. I’m very happy. “

The last substantial aspects to be agreed with the Elliott fund – technically still owner of the club, then will remain as a partner of RedBird – have been clarified and defined. And the Rossoneri fans, after holding their breath and fearful of losing two of the main architects of the Scudetto, can now breathe a sigh of relief.

In extremis

–

This morning, Maldini and Massara had received the draft contracts revised by Elliott, who prepared it after considering and analyzing the requests of the executives. Evidently there was room for reaching a shared solution. Beyond the further slight postponement of the signature, the agreement found will allow Maldini and Massara not to lose even a day from a practical point of view and to continue working on the market front, to strengthen the squad.
