LEONARDO NEW MILAN COACH
Sunday 31 May, 2009

Leonardo is the new Milan Coach, confirmed Vice-President Adriano Galliani, after the split with Carlo Ancelotti.

“It's true, Leonardo will be the Milan Coach next season. He will be presented to the Press on Monday at midday,” revealed Galliani on Raidue Stadio Sprint.

Leonardo had been working for the club as a talent scout and director, but has never been a Coach in his career.

The comments came after Ancelotti revealed he had terminated his contract with the Rossoneri by mutual consent.

“It's not over with Ancelotti,” assured the Vice-President. “There remains friendship, affection and eight marvellous years together.

“I am very good friends with Carlo and I must admit there were a few tears shed in the locker room this evening.”

The decision was made after Milan's 2-0 win at Fiorentina, which secured automatic qualification into the Champions League.

He was also asked about the rumours of Arab investors eager to buy into the club.

“At this moment there are no negotiations, but everything can happen in life. I tell the Rossoneri fans they'd do well to appreciate President [Silvio] Berlusconi.”
