After several setbacks in the football market, finally good news for Milan fans. The managerial tandem of Italian champions Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara have extended their contracts with the club. The Italian media did not at any time question their stay at San Siro, however, due to the change in the ownership structure in the club, the negotiations dragged on, and as time passed, the fear of the possible loss of the mentioned duo crept under the skin of the fans. However, just a few hours after the official expiration of the contract, Maldini and Massara agreed to extend their cooperation for another two years with an optional third. 🗣 #Maldini: “We renewed at the last minute. We will make up for the time lost. I’m very happy.” 🤝🔴⚫📽 @SempreMilanit pic.twitter.com/o0iDmsPFXp— SempreMilan 🏆 (@SempreMilanCom) June 30, 2022 Italian media claim that they have spent several hours there. Allegedly, Maldini received an official offer via email from New York late last night, which the Milan legend delivered to his agents this morning. Maldini conducted the negotiations with Gary Cardinale, the owner of Milan, via video call in the presence of two agents, one of whom, it is assumed, represented Massara, who went to Rimini in the afternoon for the official opening of the summer transfer window in Italy.

But what is most important at this moment is that the architects of Milan’s rise in the last three years remain in the place of success, which will be officially confirmed in the coming days.“Everything is sorted. We renewed at the last minute, but we did it. We are happy to be here and ready to plan a future with even more victories. There’s time, we started a bit late, but we’ll recover lost time.
