Milan, ahead with Maldini and Massara: renewals at the end of the season

Forward together. Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara, except for unexpected twists at the moment, will continue their experience as managers with Milan also in the seasons to come: the contracts of the technical director and the sporting director are expiring in the summer, but their work has been so great. positive to make the extension more likely than ever, if not just a formality. No worries in this regard.

Results and accounts

–

The Elliott owners obviously appreciated the Rossoneri’s performance on the pitch, even more so because they arrived with a squad that the Maldini-Massara couple set up without spending madness on the market (financial fair play, although revised, is always in force and has seen Milan visiting the Uefa headquarters in recent days). And there is sharing of the project between all the parties involved. The duration of the new agreement between the two managers and the Via Aldo Rossi club has yet to be understood, but it should still be multi-year (at least two years). Then the official will arrive, even if for the moment there is no set date: first the season must be concluded, which sees the Devil in the running for both the Scudetto and the Italian Cup. It is not yet time for signatures.

Roles

–

Maldini changed his role in 2019, after the traumatic divorce between AC Milan and Zvonimir Boban. In 2018, after many years away from the team of which he had been a legend on the pitch, Paolo returned with the position of strategic development director of the sports area, convinced by the Elliott project at the end of the short and turbulent Chinese era. After working alongside Leonardo the first year, he had Boban next to him until the break between the Croatian and the club: from that moment on, he became the main point of reference in the sports area. And he works side by side with Massara, AC Milan’s sporting director since 2019, in harmony with the CEO. Ivan Gazidis: the image that portrays them together with Milanello is a constant in the Rossoneri world, and is repeated week after week. Today as tomorrow.
