Leonardo Joins Italy Setup as Special Advisor
Leonardo has been appointed as a special advisor for the Italian national football team. The decision to bring him into the fold reportedly originated from Paolo Maldini, the technical director.
The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has confirmed the surprise appointment of Leonardo as a special advisor to the national team. This unexpected move comes after weeks of speculation surrounding potential new roles within the organization.
FIGC President Giovanni Malagò revealed that the initiative to involve Leonardo came directly from Paolo Maldini, who holds the position of technical director. This collaboration suggests a strategic effort to leverage Leonardo's extensive experience in football management and administration.
Leonardo, who has previously held director roles at prominent clubs like AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain, is expected to contribute his expertise to the technical direction of the Italian squad.
This is a shrewd move by the FIGC, bringing in a proven executive like Leonardo to support Maldini. It signals a serious commitment to improving the technical setup of the national team.
