Platini was banned for four years from football and had to quit UEFA after being found to have taken a $2 million payment from then FIFA president Sepp Blatter in 2011.
The 64-year-old, who lost the chance to stand for the presidency of global governing body FIFA as a result of his suspension, is still fighting to clear his name in the European Court of Human Rights.
But his ban, which was twice reduced from eight and then six years following earlier appeals, expired in October and Platini hopes to get back into football politics, according to an interview to The Times.
"It could be my destiny. I don't want to go into a club so that means a political matter, a national association, UEFA, FIFA or FIFPRO, in two or three years so I have time to consider if it's good for me and if I would be useful".
