Orlando City captain Kaka believes he could make another return to AC Milan should he so choose, but affirmed he is happy plying his trade in Major League Soccer.

The Brazilian midfielder, an icon during his days in Milan, joined Orlando at the top of its inaugural season last year and guided the team through its growing pains in the 2015 season.

"For now I'm happy in America. I loved to play with Milan so I think I will always have the door open there, but I don't know, for now I'm good in America," Kaka told FIFATV, as quoted by ESPN FC. "It's a very good challenge so I'm enjoying MLS. Now my plan is to stay in America."

For Kaka, a move to Orlando is perhaps one of the last he will make in his storied career after playing for some of the biggest clubs in the world, Milan and Real Madrid chief among them. In Milan, Kaka won the Champions League and the FIFA World Player of the Year title.

His success hasn't ended in Orlando, though: Kaka scored nine goals in 28 games last season with the Lions. At 33 years old, Kaka isn't thinking of retirement - nor is he contemplating stepping into a managerial role.

"I don't think I'm going to be a coach," Kaka said. "For now I don't like it, but maybe after I stop in two or three years, I can prepare to be a coach. But now it's not my idea."
