The Rossoneri legend is in a list of name, planing to kickstart the new era at Old Trafford and revive the Red Devils.
After just over five months since his dismissal from Milan Paolo Maldini, could soon return to work. The former Rossoneri legend, linked last week to Al-Ittihad, where he would be literally covered in gold to take on a managerial role; has now also caught the attention of Manchester United.
Jim Ratcliffe, owner of Ineos is ready to acquire a minority stake (about 25%) of the Red Devils, is reportedly considering appointing the role of technical director who understands and has a football background.
Sergio Berta from Atletico Madrid, Dougie Freedman from Crystal Palace, and Lee Congerton from Atalanta are also said to be in contention for the position, at least according to several British tabloids.
At United, they are preparing for a revolution, and this revolution might start with Paolo Maldini who would work on the advice of Sir Alex Ferguson, who had tried to sign him in the past. At that time, the move to the Premier League was blocked by his father Cesare and Paolo’s desire to stay at Milan.
Maldini now is looking forward to a new adventure, he may accept a position for the first time away from home and the Rossoneri. Sought after by the national team and some foreign clubs after hanging up his boots, the former defender had politely declined all offers, waiting, as it indeed happened, for an opportunity and an operational role at Milan.
However, after what happened with Cardinale, the legend is now ready to turn the page, inclined to embark on a new professional adventure away from his comfort zone. Will it happen? We don’t know, but it definitely might.
