Former Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo insists too many bridges have been burned with old club AC Milan for him to return in any capacity.
Leonardo is currently unemployed after resigning from his PSG post in the aftermath of his suspension for pushing a referee, though the season-long punishment is understood to be lifted for now.

Leonardo spent many years as technical director, then manager at Milan, but his relationship with club owner Silvio Berlusconi deteriorated rapidly amid bad results, with the latter also calling him "tough-headed".
When asked if Milan could, once again, consider him in a role given their current dip in form, Leonardo told Gazzetta dello Sport: "I do not think that Milan wants me.

"After what has happened [with Berlusconi], it would be impossible to go back. He who uses his fist forgets about it, but he who takes it does not."
Leonardo, of course, has also managed Milan's derby rivals Inter Milan, who are on a sort of off-field resurgence with a new president Erick Thohir on board.
And unsurprisingly, Leonardo was linked to the Nerazzurri as well, but he added: "I do not know if Thohir wants me. In any case, I have a close relationship with president (sic) [Massimo] Moratti.
"[Moratti] knows everything about me, he knows my ideas. If Thohir called me, it would be based on the information that Moratti can give him."
