''I'm sorry, but I really don't think much of women in football,'' he said.
''That's the way I see things. I think there should be more respect for somebody like Galliani,'' he added.
He was reffering to the new development at the club, where the daughter of the club president, Barbara Berlusconi, was to share the executive position of General Manager with Adriano Galliani.
Galliani agreed to share the power with her, but according to report, he threatened to resign after being at the club for 27 years, when Barbara Berlusconi, demanded for more power.
Her father, the president of the club, Silvio Berlusconi, asked him not to resign and came up with a good solution for the problem. Galliani is now responsible for sporting project, while Barbara is responsible for marketing and social duties.
Gennaro Gattusso, who played 13 years for AC Milan and won many titles with the club, has criticised his former club for giving a woman so much power.
Since his retirement from playing football, he has coached the Serie B side, Palermo, briefly and the Swiss club FC Sion, where he was sacked in May.
He ended his playing career at Sion.
