AC Milan legend Paolo Maldini believes Mattia De Sciglio could have a career as successful as his own.

Maldini won the Serie A title seven times with Milan, along with five Champions Leagues and a Club World Cup.

In a talk with Inter legend Javier Zanetti to the Fondazione Milan Onlus, Maldini said that of the current crop of Filippo Inzaghi’s side Mattia De Sciglio stood out.

“De Sciglio can have a career like mine.”

The 46-year-old ended his on-pitch career in May 2009 with a victory over Fiorentina, followed by the retirement of his number three shirt.

“It was not an easy time, and also unexpected- there were 70,000 fans there,” he continued.

“I am a thinking man and said things as they were at the time, by the time I realised how successful we had been it was over.”
