AC Milan legend Maldini explains rejecting Chelsea coaching offer

AC Milan legend Paolo Maldini admits turning down a coaching post at Chelsea.

Carlo Ancelotti had wanted Maldini to join his backroom staff.

He told the Daily Mail: The offer came only one week after my last game for Milan. I wasn't ready.

"I didn't want to move my family to London. I went there. I spoke to Mr Abramovich. I spoke to Ray Wilkins, who I had played with at Milan. I don't know. I decided not to do it."
