Leonardo Is Inter Coach
Posted Saturday, December 25, 2010 by Goal.com
Italian and European champions Inter have appointed Leonardo as their coach on a contract that will run until June 2012.
The Beneamata made the announcement on their official website on Friday evening and in a statement said: "Everyone here at Internazionale F.C. is pleased to welcome Leonardo to the Club.
"The 41-year-old Brazilian coach will take charge of the European and World Champions as of 29 December, when the Nerazzurri begin training again in Appiano Gentile.
"Leonardo signed a contract this evening that will run until 30 June 2012. The club will make an announcement over the next few days regarding his official presentation.
"We wish Leonardo the very best of luck and are sure that with his class, experience and winning mentality the Club and the team can achieve the results that everyone at Inter and all the Inter fans want to see."
Leonardo's appointment brings to an end the ill-fated reign of Rafa Benitez at San Siro. The Spaniard arrived from Liverpool this summer but despite winning the Club World Cup has failed to impress at home or in Europe.
