QUOTE Kaka finally ended weeks of speculation by signing with Real Madrid on Monday evening and Milan coach Leonardo has admitted that the Ballon d'Or winner's presence will be missed at the club.
"It is true we will all miss him, as a player and as a person, because he is an extraordinary lad. He is part of Milan's history and we will certainly miss him," the Brazilian admitted in an interview with Sky Sport 24.
"I wish him good luck, because I think he deserves it, this is a sure sign that things are moving forward."
Leonardo now has to mould the squad in his own image, after Carlo Ancelotti's eight-year tenure at the club ended when he moved to Chelsea earlier this summer.
Kaka was certainly an influential player for Milan helping them win the Coppa Italia, World Club Cup, Champions League, and Scudetto during his time at the club. forza Leo! Bring us glory!

QUOTE Milan Like Edin Dzeko - Leonardo
Milan coach Leonardo still harbours hope of signing Edin Dzeko from German side Wolfsburg despite the club's refusal to listen to offers for their man.
The Rossoneri are keen on the Bosnian hitman, but their hopes of landing him took a knock when the Germans claimed they would not sell. Vice president Adriano Galliani has threatened to drop interest in the hitman, but Leonardo is hoping he doesn't.
"I really like Dzeko," the coach told Sky Sport Italia.
Andrea Pirlo and Alexandre Pato have been linked with lucrative moves to Chelsea according to reports in England, but Leonardo believes both men will stay at the San Siro.
"Pirlo and Pato? Not all the rumours in the papers come true," continued the coach.
Pirlo has claimed he would be staying with the Rossoneri and he reaffirmed those intentions on Thursday night following Italy's win over New Zealand.
"I am Milan 100 percent," said the player.
Leonardo also spoke about Ronaldo's propsed move to Real Madrid after Manchester United accepted a bid from the Spanish side.
"Ronaldo? I didn't expect it so early, but it is a mega swoop," added the coach. He's got balls, lets see if we can sign him. I have no doubt that dzeko was his choice. The management probably would prefer 32 year old toni (IMG: style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Thats the one thing I like about Leo over carlo. He knows how to pick his players.

Be serious. We're talking about his transfers now. Kaka and Pato, yes, partly Leonardo's success. But "picking his players" means something else.

QUOTE The Brazilian is studying for his coaching badges. One of his teachers admits the Brazilian is very attentive but somewhat "messed up"…
Leonardo took over from Carlo Ancelotti at Milan last month and soon enrolled into the renowned Coverciano course to take his coaching badges, which will enable him to sit on the bench next season.
Former Milan midfielder Romeo Benetti has had the privilege of preparing the Brazilian for his maiden season as coach.
“He is a serious lad, very attentive, like the rest of them, but he strikes me as being a little messed up at the moment,” Benetti revealed to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“He is always on time, but he is evidently worried - he has to put himself out there. It’s a nice commitment but one that comes with great responsibilities.
“He applies himself - he’s a swot, as anyone might be. Some of his colleagues make fun of him, but he plays along.
“And he does not enjoy any special treatment either - he will go to the meet-up of Milan on July 6, but will be back here the next day until mid-July.”
The course began on June 8 and the aspiring coaches have to attend classes five days a week for a month-and-a-half. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
