It looks like Paulo will be around through 2006, now. http://skysports.planetfootball.com/article.asp?id=193392&cpid=21
This is nothing surprising as everyone knew Maldini wasn't going to retire after the 2005 season. He has much more quality football left in him. The interesting question is, is the current campaign to get Paolo to return to the Azzurri working? His recent comments seem to suggest it ain't out of the question for him to rejoin the squad.
Maldini is a legend wouldnt be surprised if he went on to coach the mighty A.C the former home of another personal legend of mine Franco Baresi
