Dida ranks Maignan among Europe's best: "Alongside Donnarumma and Raya"

Dida, the Rossoneri’s legendary former goalkeeper, managed the Under-17s before being promoted to the first team in the 2020–21 season as goalkeeping coach, helping to develop Gigio Donnarumma and Mike Maignan before leaving the club.

In an interview with La Repubblica he spoke about his former French protégé: "A friendship has developed since he arrived at Milan. Mike is a brilliant person. He’s a player who’s always focused, with an incredible desire to win. He’s doing brilliantly this year; he’s got himself back into shape. I’m sure he still has a lot to offer Milan."

Asked whether Maignan is among the best goalkeepers in Europe, he said: "Yes, partly because of his consistency. Then I’d put Donnarumma next. Another one I like is Raya from Arsenal."
