(Reuters) - AC Milan have parted ways with technical director and former playing great Paolo Maldini, the Serie A club said on Tuesday.

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.
