Milan: Maldini is fired after disagreements with management
Paolo Maldini is a thing of the past for Milan, who sacked him after structural disagreements with the club owner over plans for the new season.
THE Paolo Maldini is a thing of the past for Milan’s org chart, having helped the club win La Liga and return to the Champions League for five seasons.
The sports director and the legend of the “rosoneri” met Monday with the head of the owning company, Jerry Cardinale, and discussed the project in an intense atmosphere and with many disagreements.
As a result, the 54-year-old was sacked despite achieving his goals this season, including a top-four finish in Serie A and a strong showing in top-flight club competition. His right-hand man, Ricky Massara, will follow the same path.
The Italian club’s announcement on Maldini was just 67 words, announcing that his role will be filled by a committee that will report to the Cardinale.
