Paolo Maldini and Leonardo have stepped down from their positions within the Italian Football Federation (FIGC), according to reports from Sky Sport Italia.
The departures of the two prominent figures mark a significant shift in the federation's composition, coming shortly after they agreed to take on advisory or oversight roles.
Their exit adds to a period of turbulence for the FIGC, which has seen leadership changes and internal realignments in recent months.
The resignations follow the election of Giovanni Malago as FIGC president, who secured a decisive victory in a contest aimed at revitalizing the country's football ecosystem.
Malago's mandate has focused on stabilizing governance and addressing structural challenges within Italian football.
This development occurs against a backdrop of broader institutional changes in Italy, including political pressure leading to the departure of Stefano Donnarumma, managing director of Ferrovie dello Stato.
