AC Milan has parted ways with technical director and former player Paolo Maldini, the Serie A club said on Tuesday.
In a statement, the club said that Maldini concluded his role at the club on June 5.
It said that the 54-year-old returned to the club nine years after he retired from soccer and was promoted to the Rossoneri’s technical director role in 2019, less than a year after he became the director of sporting strategy and development.
“AC Milan announces that Paolo Maldini concludes his role at the club, effective as of June 5, 2023.
“We thank him for his years of service in the role, contributing to the return to the Champions League and winning the Scudetto in 2021/22,” a club statement said.
The ex-Italy defender spent his 25-year playing career with Milan.
He was captain in their most successful era, winning five Champions Leagues, seven Serie A titles, four European Super Cups and a Club World Cup, before hanging up his boots at 41.
