According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, former AC Milan defender and captain Maldini is set to be named as their new technical director, agreeing to a four-year deal.
Maldini’s new position is unheard of in the federation and will oversee the appointment of the next manager and the entire national-team pathway.
In addition, former AC Milan teammate and colleague Leonardo will join the 58-year-old in an advisory capacity.
