Maignan key to AC Milan move for ex-Wolves keeper coach Roberts

Italian giants AC Milan are due to unveil Tony Roberts as their new goalkeepers' coach.

Premier League side Wolves have already confirmed that Roberts is leaving the club.

The former Wales international is set to sign his contract with Milan in the next 24 hours, per The Mail.

He will be working with France star Mike Maignan, who is thought to have personally recommended the move.

Maignan wants to work with a coach he can trust, and Milan want to ensure their shot stopper does not move on to a bigger club.

Roberts has followed Maignan since his days as a youth team player at Paris Saint-Germain.
