QUOTE Maldini To Be Awarded FIFA Order Of MeritFIFA is to bestow the Order of Merit on AC Milan legend Paolo Maldini, the Gazzetta dello Sport has revealed. The FIFA Order of Merit is usually awarded to those who are considered to have made a significant contribution to football. The prize is not necessarily just for footballers, as apart from the likes of Pele, Franz Beckenbauer and the only other Italian to have won the award so far, Dino Zoff, political figures such as Nelson Mandela and Henry Kissinger have also been recipients. Maldini will become only the second Italian to win the award, following in the footsteps of 1982 World Cup-winning captain Dino Zoff. The 39-year-old Maldini will receive the honour at the annual FIFA Congress in Sydney next month. The Milan captain is set to retire from football at the end of the season after a glorious career lasting almost a quarter-of-a-century. He has won seven Scudetti, one Coppa Italia, five Italian Super Cups, five Champions League titles, five European Super Cups and three World Club Cups. He is both Milan and Italy’s all-time appearance maker, and is regarded by some as the best defender in the history of the game.

Here's what Il Capitano said before the San Siro Gentleman awards tonight (as reported by Mediaset Sport):
Paolo Maldini ha deciso cosa fare nella prossima stagione. E di mezzo non c'e' l'eventuale qualificazione ai preliminari di Champions: 'Non c'e' niente di ufficiale, perche' non ho un contratto, ma non ci sara' neanche la necessita' dato che con Galliani siamo d'accordo. Diciamo che sono orientato verso la decisione di continuare e in settimana andro' in sede a discuterne cosi' finira' questo tormentone'.
Proprio a riguardo della Champions, Maldini e' onesto: 'Non raggiungere la Champions sarebbe una grande delusione ma la questione non e' ancora chiusa perche' abbiamo visto quanto sia bello il campionato di quest'anno. Anche le squadre che avevano meno stimoli di altre hanno reso viva e interessante la stagione fino alla fine. Speriamo che anche il Torino faccia lo stesso. Certo, ora il futuro non e' piu' nelle nostre mani'. [Paolo Maldini has decided what to do next season, and it doesn't depend on CL qualification: 'There's nothing official because I don't have a contract, but there doesn't need to be one given that Galliani and I are in agreement. Let's say that I'm leaning toward deciding to continue and in a week I'll go to the team offices to discuss how to finish this debate.
As regards CL qualification, Maldini is honest: 'Not reaching CL qualifications would be a terrible disappointment but the question isn't over yet because we've seen how great the championship has been this year. The teams that have had less motivation have made the end of the season interesting. We hope Torino will do the same. It's certain that now our future is not in our hands.']
