His extent of achievements tells you why Paolo Maldini is probably the greatest defender and one-club legend of all time. The Italian defender lifted 26 trophies in a 25-year career for his beloved club AC Milan.
Additionally, he holds several records for his longevity like playing the most minutes in the history of the FIFA World Cup and is also the most capped player in the Serie A.
In contrast to his achievements, his dad Cesare Maldini also had an extremely successful career as a footballer albeit not as good as his son. He won 6 trophies in a career spanning fifteen years. In his managerial career, Cesare Maldini won two trophies and three other with Italy's U21 squad.
As of now, there's no news about Paolo Maldini stepping into management but should he decide on doing so, the fans will expect him to achieve the success that rivals his achievements as a player.
