AC Milan president Paolo Scaroni admits he no longer has contact with Paolo Maldini.

The former Milan technical director has taken aim at Scaroni since his sacking at the end of last season.

In response, Scaroni said yesterday: "I haven't heard from him again.

"I always think that when someone looks at their past with a certain degree of acrimony it means that they are not living the present very well.

"I hope that this is not the case with Maldini, to whom I wish every satisfaction."
