Let ${{M}_{n}}$ be the algebra of all $n\,\times \,n$ matrices over $\mathbb{C}$. We say that $A,B\in {{M}_{n}}$ quasi-commute if there exists a nonzero $\xi \,\in \,\mathbb{C}$ such that $AB\,=\,\xi BA$. In the paper we classify bijective not necessarily linear maps $\Phi :{{M}_{n}}\to {{M}_{n}}$ which preserve quasi-commutativity in both directions.
