A former Rossoneri player has been made official by a Greek club and will try this new experience in his career.
An abundant year, but for some it still remains one of the greatest injustices perpetrated in the world of football. Paolo Maldini was, is and will certainly forever be an absolute symbol of Milan and Milanism and, certainly, many have not understood how the current club has behaved towards him, erasing almost 30 years of Rossoneri history with one stroke of the sponge.
30 years ranging from his debut in Udine at the end of the 80s, continuing through all his incredible successes and appearances with the Milan shirt as a player and extend up to the five-year period from 2018 to 2023 which saw Paolo Maldini return to the Rossoneri and become manager.
Leaving aside his extraordinary career as a footballer which is considered by many to be the greatest in the history of football for a defender, it may be enough to focus on his career as Milan manager. A first season as Leonardo’s consultant, starting to learn the tricks of the trade, and then head of the technical area, with Zvone Boban (only for a few months) and Ricky Massara at his side.
And it is precisely in these years that Milan leaves the so-called Banter Erareturns to the Champions League after seven years, wins the Scudetto after eleven and returns to the Champions League semi-finals after sixteen very long seasons.
Milan, Maldini was fired over a year ago
Despite this, however, Gerry Cardinale didn’t want to listen to reason and fired on the spot, more than a year ago nowthe history, the flag of Milan which, also through his father Cesare and his son Daniel, has spanned the Rossoneri epic for more than half a century.
The result is that things within the Rossoneri club are done in a more approximate manner, there are no clear and pre-established roles, the fans and perhaps even the players they no longer have a reference figure and no one puts their face to represent Milan in difficult and difficult moments. In short, Paolo Maldini’s farewell is still regretted by most.
Former Milan, Massimo Donati will coach in Greece
Meanwhile, a former teammate of Maldini at Milan is ready to start a new professional adventure. Let’s talk about Massimo Donati, former midfielder who wore the Rossoneri shirt 17 times in the 2001/2002 season, having Paolo as Captain. Having become coach a few years ago, the ex, among others in addition to Milan, Atalanta, Celtic and Palermo is ready to move to Greece.
Donate, in factwill coach Athens Kallithea, a team newly promoted to the top flight and whose president is the former CEO of Venezia, Ted Philipakos. The former midfielder has just returned from two extraordinary seasons at the helm of Legnago, first brought to Serie C last season and then to the playoffs in the one just ended. For him here is a one-year contract with an option until 2026.
