Italian football legend Paolo Maldini has emerged as a leading candidate for the director position at Saudi Arabian club Al Ittihad. This development comes after an exclusive revelation last month that Maldini was being considered for the role.
In a recent interview with Repubblica, Maldini expressed his openness to taking up a new challenge outside of Italy, stating that he would not join another Italian club but might consider a top club elsewhere. The former AC Milan defender and current technical director hinted at the possibility of joining a Saudi Arabian club, suggesting that the idea could be appealing.
According to Repubblica, Maldini’s comments have fueled speculation about his potential move to Al Ittihad, where he could bring his extensive experience and footballing knowledge to the director’s position.
