<p>AC Milan have parted ways with technical director and former playing great Paolo Maldini, the Serie A club said on Tuesday (June 6).</p>

<p>Maldini, 54, returned to the club nine years after his retirement from soccer and was promoted to the Rossoneri's technical director role in 2019, less than a year after he became the director of sporting strategy and development.</p>

<p>"AC Milan announce that Paolo Maldini concludes his role at the club, effective as of June 5, 2023," said a club statement.</p>

<p>"We thank him for his years of service in the role, contributing to the return to the Champions League and to winning the Scudetto in 2021/22."</p>

<p>The ex-Italy defender spent his 25-year playing career with Milan and was captain in their most successful era, winning five Champions Leagues, seven Serie A titles, four European Super Cups and a Club World Cup, before hanging up his boots at 41.</p>

<p>Maldini's stint as technical director saw Milan win the 2021-22 Serie A title, their first in over a decade, with players such as Rafael Leao, Theo Hernandez, Oliver Giroud, and Fikayo Tomori having joined the club.</p>
