AC Milan hero Kaka is happy to see Paolo Maldini promoted to technical director.

Kaka has been linked with a role under Maldini with the club.

He said, "I'm so sorry that they missed out on the Champions League by just one point.

“We'll see which direction they take, but there are shoots of a recovery and there's Paolo Maldini. I think they're on the right track.

“Gattuso brought the DNA of Milan to these lads. Leo made his choices, he'll have had his reasons.

“Maldini is a great example for me. He waited nine years to return to Milan. I'll take the same path as him.

“It's hard to break away from Milan. Even in Brazil I always read their news and watch their games."
