Milan, Kaka returns – Maldini and Leonardo’s plan; Kaka’s role revealed
This summer, Leonardo returned to Milan to the role of sporting director, whilst Milan legend Paolo Maldini was brought in as a sort of assistant to Leonardo. This afternoon, former Ballon D’Or winner Kaka arrived in Milan to rejoin the club. Speaking to CalcioMercato, Kaka said:
“I often talk with Leonardo, we are friends, but on the role that I will have at Milan we have not yet discussed. Now my priority is my children living in Brazil, the reason why I did not arrive at Milan with the previous property. I have to be with them, but with Leonardo and Maldini I get even closer to Milan. I want to understand what I like to do in the world of football.”
According to what has been learned by CalcioMercato, Kaka will initially begin as a sort of intern, where he can study, observe and, most importantly, learn from the other behind-the-scenes technical staff. From there, Kaka could become a scout and intermediary for the club’s pursuit of South American talent, as Kaka stated his priority was his children in Brazil.
