YOUNG MALDINI JOINS AC MILAN ACADEMY
MILAN, Oct 18
(Reuters) - Paolo Maldini's son Christian has signed up
as an AC Milan player, becoming the third generation of
the footballing family to be on the books of the Italian
club.
Christian Maldini, the nine-year old son of the current
AC Milan captain and grandson of former player and coach
Cesare Maldini, was formally registered at a ceremony at
the club's headquarters.
The youngest Maldini is expected to make his debut for
one of the club's junior teams in a derby game against
Inter Milan on Saturday.
Paolo Maldini, 37, recently set a new record number of
appearances in Serie A and is also Italy's most capped
player while his father was captain of the first Milan
team to win the European Cup in 1963 and still works for
the club as a scout.
