The renowned Italian football personality, previously associated with Milan post-retirement, has left San Siro and is reportedly exploring different opportunities elsewhere.
Discussions have linked Maldini to potential roles in Saudi Arabia, but there have been no definite developments. Speculation also suggests his potential involvement in a revamped board at Manchester United under Ratcliffe’s leadership.
With the English billionaire acquiring a 25% stake in the Red Devils, there is widespread anticipation of significant changes at Old Trafford.
Paul Mitchell is another contender for the sporting director position alongside Maldini. Moreover, there are murmurs about the potential demolition of their current stadium to pave the way for a new structure.
The possibility of Maldini’s inclusion has excited Manchester United supporters. His illustrious career at Milan, marked by monumental success, and his previous administrative contributions, add allure to the prospect.
Former United defender Mikael Silvestre supported Maldini’s potential appointment, highlighting his experience and suitability for the role: “Paolo Maldini possesses the required expertise and acumen for this role. With his extensive career, connections, and global knowledge, he could excel as a sporting director for Man United. He previously oversaw a Serie A triumph and held a significant role within a top-tier club, demonstrating his aptitude for such a position.”
