It is with great satisfaction that FIGC President Giovanni Malagò announces that Paolo Maldini has accepted the offer to become the FIGC’s Technical Director. Maldini will carry out this role alongside Leonardo in his capacity as an Advisor.
Giovanni Malagò will also appoint Paolo Maldini as President of Club Italia. "Maldini was always my first choice," Malagò said. "I felt he could be the right person to oversee the FIGC's technical sector, which doesn't just cover the senior national team but the entire pathway of the national youth teams. Over the past two weeks, we have discussed all the projects in detail, and Paolo immediately told me that he would be happy to involve Leonardo as a consultant because there is a lot of work to do and it will be demanding and challenging. I'm pleased because I have enormous respect for Leonardo. They are two sides of the same coin. This is a four-year commitment that must take us from here to the next World Cup in 2030, with a European Championship along the way."
