AC Milan Sack Paolo Maldini😳

[@radovan712]

Imagine being the best player a club has seen, becoming a staff member of that same club, forcing some great signings for a very small amount of money, helping the team win their first Scudetto in around 10 years, that team also reaching the UCL semifinal abd still being sacked. Damn

So your telling me that because CDK was the one signing out of 11 players they signed recently that failed(even though it’s just his first season) Maldini gets the sack? Everything Maldini has done as technical director has been damn near perfect. And he’s put Milan back on track to be one of the best again despite this poor season. A few more signings especially in attack and maybe a change in coach can really help them but now that Maldinis gone, I can see a lot of their best players like Leao, Maignan, and Hernandez leaving as well.
