Former Brazilian and AC Milan superstar Kaka has admitted that he could make a return to Milan, though this time in a non-playing capacity.
The 36-year-old ended his illustrious playing career last year and was last on the books of American club Orlando City. During his playing days, Kaka represented the likes of Sao Paulo, AC Milan, with whom he had two spells, Real Madrid and most recently Orlando City.
Since retiring from professional football, Kaka has been spending time in his native Brazil.
He is best remembered for his time at Milan with whom he won one Serie A title, one Champions League, and one Fifa Club World Cup. In 2007, Kaka also won the Ballon d’Or whilst he was on the books of Milan and he is currently the last person to have won the award apart from Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo and Messi have dominated the award for the last decade.
Internationally, Kaka was part of the Brazil team which won the 2002 World Cup (though he did not play a prominent role in that team) and also helped Brazil win the 2005 and 2009 Confederations Cup. He was crowned as the Golden Ball winner during the tournament in South Africa in 2009.
Kaka was also a key part of the Brazil team which took part in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and many expected that he would guide the team to glory under Dunga. However, the Brazilians were eliminated during the quarter-finals by eventual runners-up the Netherlands.
Kaka is widely regarded as a legend at AC Milan.
Many fans would certainly love to have him back at the club, as they look to rebuild themselves into a giant of Italian as well as European football.
Kaka has since admitted that a return could be on the cards.
He told UOL Esporte:“My rapport with Milan has always been very close and now with the return to Leo and Maldini, figures I played with and have a good relationship with to this day, my bond with the club is even tighter.
“My priority is to remain in Brazil with my children, but the doors are always open and I could see how the world of a director of sport works.
“I wouldn’t necessarily have to remain in Italy or have particular responsibilities. It’d be more getting to understand the market.”
