"It's difficult to have a season like the one that won the Scudetto. It's easy to say that, but obviously, working with Paolo and everything he represents for Milan and Italian football, I was very proud of him."
"But yes, of course, I was disappointed that he left. But Milan must now move forward with the people who are here today. Maybe one day Paolo will return to Milan."
"I hope to return soon to see a match and see all the people who mean so much to me. I'd like to return to the atmosphere of San Siro, which was different."
Olivier Giroud reflected on the impact of Paolo Maldini's departure as technical director in June 2023, expressing disappointment but acknowledging the need for Milan to progress. He noted that some players struggled to regain their form after Maldini's exit. Giroud, who joined Milan in 2021 and enjoyed significant success, has since moved to Lille but still feels a strong connection to Milan and its fans. He expressed a desire to return to Milan in some capacity in the future.
