Paolo Maldini has claimed that he has been frustrated in his attempts to embark on a coaching career with AC Milan. “Club president Silvio Berlusconi had spoken clearly about it and even board member Barbara Berlusconi had mentioned my name but the reality is that I have not been offered anything,” Maldini told La Gazzetta dello Sport. “In these years I have asked to return before Leonardo was coach and then Allegri, but I always found a locked door at the club. Leonardo would have wanted me close to the team; I would have been useful for him in any role. For Allegri, I would be the meeting point between team and society. One explanation is simple - AC Milan do not want to take me back.”
