"It's over," replied the former footballer and ex-UEFA president when asked on LCI about a possible return to the International Football Federation.
He said he had filed a complaint in France to shed light on the origin of the accusations of illegal payment which led to his being tried.
"There are a few that killed me," he said, adding that he was "a bit revenge-driven."
"Those who were in place didn't want me to come, they didn't want anyone else to come and see what's going on," he said, adding that he "didn't know not" who it was.
"Those who let me down were the politics of football. They took my place, at UEFA, at Fifa, they all got raises, they had advantages that I was no longer there" .
He felt that Sepp Blatter, former president of Fifa tried and acquitted with him, was "a very good president, until the day he told me he wanted to die at Fifa. From there, he tried to make trouble with everyone who was planning to one day replace him and from there it went badly."
The winner of the Euro with the France team in 1984 and the C1 in 1985 with Juventus, now 67, has ruled out any possibility of resuming leadership responsibilities in the world of football.
"I want to live a little quiet," he said.
"I decided not to run for Fifa, not to run for UEFA, I decided not to run for the French Football Federation. These are decisions that I have made since a long time but I wanted to be able to say it with my head held high, not under the influence of an indictment, of a bogus thing."
"If there is something interesting to do for football, I would do it but not in these institutions, I don't want to return to that world", he still assured.
