Kaka set for sensational AC Milan return as sporting director

Milan, November 24: AC Milan legend Kaka is allegedly set for a return to his former club over a possible future role in the management.

The veteran attacking midfielder ended his three-year spell in Major League Soccer in October and decided to hang his boots.

The Brazilian playmaker enjoyed two successful spells at the San Siro during his career and now reportedly there is an offer on the table from CEO Marco Fassone for a Sporting director role which could see him back in the Milan colours for the third time.

The 35-year-old met with club officials on Wednesday, before sitting in the stands to watch his former side in their Europa League encounter with FK Austria Wien the day after.

The Brazilian was also paraded before the home supporters at the San Siro halfway through Milan's comprehensive 5-1 Europa League triumph.

However, the retired player has now suggested that he is yet to decide whether to resign from football after playing his last game for Orlando City or come back in the game with a different role.

"I've been here for three days, I have really nice memories," Kaka said, speaking to Milan TV.

“We just talked, about some ideas. I still need time to decide if I'll play football or not. It's a delicate moment for me, and I explained that to Fassone too.

“I know there's a chance to come back to Milan, but first I have to decide whether to keep playing or not.

“It's all still hypothetical so it's early to talk about it. I already like being close to Milan.

“I'm always in love with Milan, the relationship with the club is brilliant and I told Fassone that too. For a Brazilian it's a special thing to fall in love with an Italian club like this.

“It's wonderful to see the club and the fans again."

Milan was the first European club Kaka played for and he put in six years at the San Siro after joining them from Sao Paulo in 2003.

He also had his most successful career at the Italy where he went on winning the UEFA Champions League, Serie A title and a FIFA Club World Cup with AC Milan as well as securing the Ballon d'Or in 2007.
