The former FIFA World Cup winner with Brazil stated that: "My cycle as a professional player ends here. I needed a bit of time to think and make my decision with calm. I spoke to some people very close to me, my parents, my brother, my girlfriend and my brother’s wife, five people. It was a time for prayer. In a very conscious manner, I came to the conclusion that the time has come to end my career as a professional player."
Kaka will however not leave the world of football as a whole stating that: "Now, I will prepare to continue in the world of football, but in another role. I would like to work at a club as a manager, a sporting director or in a role that combines things on the pitch and the club. I always prepared myself really well as a player now I want to do the same thing for any new roles I take on. Just because I have had success as a player it does not mean that I will have it as a Director so I want to take some time out to prepare."
In conclusion Kaka confirmed that he has been in talks with former club Milan stating that: "It’s true that recently Milan made me an offer, we will see."
