They are retiring his shirt, it will only be re-allocated to one of his sons, the eldest, is 13 and in the Milan youth team, he will be given then number 3 when he breaks through.But yea, legendBeen playing for AC for 24 years, and has 26 winners medals with them.In a all time XI, he gets in at left-back.

Champions league European Cup Words can not sum up this guys contribution to football over the years.and the fact that he is a one lub man puts him in the category of ledgend that not many are part of.

And to add to the Maldini said in a recent World Soccer interview that, "I am not going to coach. It's a great job but very stressful and it involves some of the things I like least in football. At the end of the game, I see [Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti] do seven different interviews answering the same questions seven different times. Also, I wouldn't be at ease of having to go to Coverciano [the Italian federation's technical centre] to be taught about football, just to get my coaching badge. I have two business interests that I intend to follow up more closely. I have a clothing line with my friends and we also have a company that does house restoration. But, apart from that I simply do not have definite plans and I don't want to say I will be doing this or that when at the moment I don't really know"
