Leonardo leaves AC Milan

AC Milan and coach Leonardo part company

It was recently con­firmed that AC Milan and the Brazil­ian coach Leonardo will part, while in the press con­fer­ence Leonardo was calm and seemed happy with his deci­sion, it’s strange to see the young man­ager leave so quickly.

AC Milan have an aging squad, but within the team there are three young stars to build upon: the first is Alexan­dre Pato, the young Brazil­ian striker, the sec­ond is Thi­ago Silva, the promis­ing center-back, and the third would be Leonardo. But with recent rumors and news, it seems like AC Milan don’t care about their future. Pato is rumored to leave for Real Madrid and Thi­ago Silva could go with him, and these rumors are cir­cu­lat­ing while Leonardo is resigning.

The press con­fer­ence was strange, Leonardo along with the AC Milan sport­ing direc­tor Adri­ano Gal­liani both said it was a con­sen­sual deci­sion by both the coach and the team. And as Leonardo leaves the rossoneri bench, he leaves a hole which will be dif­fi­cult to replace. While Van Basten’s name has been cir­cu­lat­ing around, the most pos­si­ble replace­ment is Fil­ippo Galli, who is already a coach at the club and should be cheap for Berlusconi.

And so the Milan cir­cus con­tin­ues, no set plan, no promis­ing future, and a penny-pinching pres­i­dent all remain for next sea­son as the club pre­pares to play Juven­tus on the final day of Serie A.
