Paolo Maldini lets loose on his departure from AC Milan

As Dan Ashworth heads to Manchester United, Newcastle must find a new sporting director for next season. The 53-year-old is under contract until 2026 with the Magic, but the Red Devils are trying to find a financial agreement with Newcastle to recruit him this summer. And to replace him, Newcastle already has a name at the top of the list: Paolo Maldini.

According to tabloid information The Sun, the former technical director of AC Milan, free since last June, is one of the favorites to take Ashworth's place. Note that the name of Hugo Viana is on the shortlist, he who has already officiated for Sporting CP in particular.
