Interesting, how when you read Leo's own words - unedited - and compare them to the likes of Goal.com. The meaning changes 180 degrees (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I like leo's press conference. He's very direct and he's got the balls to say what he wants.

How come this is in the 'other' section and not the players section?

Leo: 'If Milan want, I'll step aside'

Saturday 20 February, 2010

Leonardo has offered to resign if Milan President Silvio Berlusconi is unhappy with his work. “If he wants, I will step aside.”

The 3-2 Champions League defeat to Manchester United prompted the patron to suggest “Milan have everything possible to win something, but only if they let the players play well.”

This caused speculation Leo would be sacked if things did not improve radically, but he is taking matters into his own hands.

“Our agreement was very clear,” insisted Leonardo in today’s Press conference.

“The plans were laid down and I have no problems. If the President wants, I will step aside. All I need is the word.

“I have been here for 13 years in one role or another, so I’d have no problem terminating the contract. I would never allow this club to pay for two Coaches at once.


“In order to keep going forward, we need the most important thing: calm. For now I am focusing only on the squad.

“I remain relaxed, although I know these rumours cannot do the team any good. It’s not harming them either, as it’s a mature group of players, but I’d prefer to avoid this sort of thing.”

The loss to Manchester United was the peak in a series of poor results for the Rossoneri, who since the derby have won only one game in all competition.

“We have to stand up for these lads. They did something exceptional by playing extraordinary football for a long period of time.

“Truth be told, we played better against United than we had done recently. Unfortunately we were defeated, but I think these games should be analysed logically.

“From Tuesday’s loss, we are actually more convinced of our capabilities.”

You can watch them take on Bari LIVE on ESPN from 19.45 GMT on Sunday evening.

Leo has called up January signing Dominic Adiyiah for the first time, while Marco Borriello is back in action.

Absent due to injury are Luca Antonini, Mathieu Flamini, Kakha Kaladze, Amantino Mancini, Clarence Seedorf, Gianluca Zambrotta and Oguchi Onyewu.

Milan squad: Abbiati, Dida, Roma; Abate, Bonera, Favalli, Jankulovski, Nesta, Oddo, Thiago Silva; Ambrosini, Beckham, Gattuso, Pirlo; Adiyiah, Borriello, Huntelaar, Inzaghi, Pato, Ronaldinho.

I love him too, I don't like the way he's being treated though. He is a rookie, and we are still in the top 3 it's better than what Carletto did a few years back bringing us to 5th. If Berlu would give him the money and allow him to get players we NEED instead of buying crap and keeping crap around we could become, once again, as strong and even stronger than Inter.

I'm sure Leo's a nice person and a total gentleman, but he hasn't yet won me over as a coach. Still seems too one-dimensional and still seems to lack the ability to react to stuff when his one plan isn't working. I'm not really a fan of the way he's treating some of the senior players on the squad either but that one's more up to interpretation.

I personally wouldn't stand for it. Its one thing if Berlu doesn't want to invest and tells milan they are on their own; but its another thing to meddle in the club's f*ckin business when you leave all the work to another person to do and you drop in when its convenient and give criticism. Silvio needs to either shut the f*ck up and invest in this team so we can compete with the rest of europe or leave the management alone. Galliani and Leo have done a brilliant job keeping us up their with inter/juve/roma when our calibre screams out mid table/uefa cup. He's doing better than even carlo ancelotti was with this team last year.

He deserves some credit forsure. After all he's the only top level coach who gets a joke of a salary; gets no choice or say in the players he gets; and gets no transfer funds.

He's due for some credit, no f*ckin doubt about it.

I love Leo, even tough Ancelotti was very good, I think Leo does a good job but he's a rookie but everbody has been a rookie. Leo got to take more charge!
we played good agianst Man U just that we got to work harder at the end
and to play agianst a team that have one of the greatest trainer and see that result, pretty good
Not the greatst coach but I have my respect to Leo
Man U vs AC Milan
Sir alex vs Leo
3-2

I understand. he has to learn a lot. no one was a great coach from day 1. not with this squad anyway. even Pep would have struggled if he hadn't been given such a great team.

At least our league position is satisfactory. it's past mid February and we are [/can] still [/remain] in the title race. it hadn't happened to us since.. perhaps 2005!
