AC Milan head coach Carlo Ancelotti has expressed his joy at playmaker Kaka's decision to remain at San Siro.

After several twists and turns, it was announced on Monday evening that the Brazilian would stay at Milan following interest from Manchester City.

It was reported that the Eastlands club had been prepared to pay an extravagant fee in order to land the former Fifa World Player of the Year.

However, the 26-year-old chose to stick with the Serie A giants, and Ancelotti feels the decision will hand the club a timely boost as they look to usurp leaders Inter Milan in the title race.

Special club

"Now, finally, I can shout out my happiness. I'm truly happy because the heart won," Ancelotti told La Gazzetta dello Sport

"I have to thank the (club) president (Silvio) Berlusconi and Ricky [Kaka]. It wasn't a simple decision to make in the face of such a big offer.

"With this decision we have demonstrated that Milan is a special club. This is a family where everything is good and no one wants to leave.

"We work with serenity. We fight for major objectives and we seek them together.

"Our group isn't made of iron, but steel. And now this news, Kaka's confirmation, will give us a big push in chasing Inter, catching them and overtaking them. We believe."
