AC Milan director Paolo Maldini admits he hated his first months in the job.
Speaking with Sette, Maldini concedes he felt he had made a big mistake returning to the club.
He recalled, "At the beginning, every night I came home and told my wife that it was a disaster. I kept saying to Leonardo, who wanted me to join him, that I felt useless. I didn't understand the administrative side of the job, I wondered what I was doing there. I must feel like a protagonist."
He touched on his reaction once Leonardo told him that he wanted to return to Paris Saint-Germain.
“What are you saying Leo, was my answer. With my eyes out. I felt lost. But honestly, right afterwards I also had the feeling of being at ease for the first time.
“I was back in a situation where I had no one to shield me. What I had always been looking for. I am very grateful to Leonardo, my apprenticeship with him was fundamental. We speak often."
