Cesare Maldini (born February 5, 1932) is an Italian football coach and former player. Maldini's playing position was at centre half.

[edit] Biography

Maldini was born in Trieste, Venezia Giulia.

He lifted the European Cup with A.C. Milan in 1963 as team captain. He served as an assistant coach on the 1982 FIFA World Cup-winning Italian side.

He coached the Italian Under-21 side for ten years, winning the European Under-21 Football Championship on the tournament record of three occasions.

He was then called up to lead the senior national team, and helped the team qualify for the 1998 FIFA World Cup, captained by his son Paolo. Italy advanced to the quarter-finals where they were eliminated by hosts France on penalties after a scoreless draw. Maldini resigned after the tournament due to media criticism of his ultra-defensive tactics.

Maldini became coach of Paraguay's national team in January 2002. His appointment caused some controversy as domestic managers were overlooked (prompting the managers union to try to unsuccessfully expel him for immigration breeches), and because he spoke little Spanish. Maldini nonetheless had the support of star goalkeeper Jose Luis Chilavert and several other senior players.[1] He led the team to qualify for the 2002 World Cup hosted by South Korea and Japan, becoming the oldest coach in the tournament at the age of 70. (His son Paolo captained Italy in the same tournament.) Despite missing Chilavert for the first two games due to suspension, Paraguay advanced to the knockout round. They were eliminated by eventual finalists Germany by an 89th minute goal.

The experienced coach returned to A.C. Milan as a scout for young talent for the Rossoneri.

He is currently a sports analyst for Al-Jazeera sports channel, with Alessandro Altobelli. [1]
