Jon Gruden Joins Milano Seamen as Advisor in First Post-NFL Role

Former NFL coach embarks on a new chapter in European football amidst ongoing lawsuit against the NFL.

Jon Gruden, former Raiders coach, has been hired as an advisor by the Milano Seamen, marking his first official football job since 2021.
Gruden's return to football comes after a controversy involving leaked emails containing offensive language led to his resignation from the Raiders.
The Milano Seamen, a team in the European League of Football, aims to benefit from Gruden's experience; the coach won a Super Bowl with Tampa Bay in 2002.
Gruden's lawsuit against the NFL, alleging the league leaked damaging emails to force his resignation, is still ongoing.
Despite the controversy, Gruden hopes for a second chance in coaching, viewing his new role in Italy as a step towards rehabilitation.
