Because what a 5 times Champions League winner needs is a corporate job title that will look good on his CV

Seems the definition of a PR move from the new owners.

Great legend with a useless title and role. 

Way to think outside the box.

Depends what they're actually going to get him to do. We have (or had) a similar role as the title suggests and most clubs in Europe will, I'd imagine the role itself is to manage the coaching philosophy and playing styles across the academy teams upto the first team to create a continuity throughout the club on the pitch. Also including looking after reserve/youth players and managing their progression into the first team.

Though I don't know much about the owners/people running the club so it could well just be a move to appease fans to get Maldini in somehow or another.

Good.

Now rename his position to "Manager", and keep Gattuso as his assistant, and we'll be alright.

Leonardo tried to take Maldini to PSG when he was there, but Maldini decided to stay in Italy. It seems that Paolo is working pretty hard alongside Leonardo and they´re doing a very good on the transfer market considering Milan´s financial limitations.

Maldini and Boban look likely to be on the way out from Milan.
