Now it's official. Dramatic breakup at Milan: Gerry Cardinale gives Paolo Maldini the sack , one of the main architects of the club's return to the glories of the past.

In a meager press release released this afternoon, AC Milan announced that Paolo Maldini "ends his term at the club with immediate effect from 5 June 2023" .

An unceremonious dismissal therefore arrived yesterday, during a meeting at Casa Milan in which Cardinale simply communicated his decision to the Rossoneri legend.

«We thank him for his contribution in recent years», continues the note released by the club, « with Milan's return to the Champions League and with the victory of the Scudetto in the 2021/22 season. His responsibilities will be assigned to an integrated working group which will work closely with the first-team coach, reporting directly to the managing director ».

Fans in turmoil over completely unexpected news, which arrived like a bolt from the blue the day after the end of the championship: almost everyone is with Maldini. And even in the locker room it won't be easy to manage: Leao already expressed all his doubts with an emoticon on social media last night, today he posted a video on Instagram in which he mimes the gesture of sealing his mouth . The Portuguese, fresh from renewal, is very close to Maldini, always present at training sessions at Milanello. And like him many other Rossoneri champions, starting with Theo Hernandez himself. Adli posted a photo from October 2022 in which Maldini is awarded as "Best European manager of the year" .
