Former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Araujo-c6435 explains his move to Paris Saint-Germain – Serie A Update
Former Inter Milan head coach, Leonardo Araujo, is set to join Paris Saint-Germain as the new Sporting Director. Leonardo has now spoken on his decision to quit San Siro and his move to PSG under new management of the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Qatar-c2986 Investment Authority (QIA).
Leonardo came to San Siro on the Christmas Eve last year to replace Rafael Benitez. At that time, Inter were lagging in the Serie A and were falling behind the top runners. However, under the Brazilian’s charge, Inter posed a serious threat to AC Milan and
almost took the title away from the current Italian champions.
However, inconsistency in the final furlong of the season and the dramatic drop out of the UEFA Champions League made Leonardo a controversial figure at San Siro. It was reckoned that Leonardo might plan to make a move away from La Beneamata.
On contact by the French Ligue 1 outfit, the former midfielder discussed the offer with the Inter President, Massimo Moratti, who supported and respected his decision for the future. While explaining his decision, Leonardo told the reporters at a press conference
that although he was happy being the Nerazzurri coach, his ambition has always been to become a http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sporting-89-c40576 director.
“After winning the Coppa Italia, a victory I was very happy with as it was my first as a Coach, I chose to go on holiday to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858. I then had a meeting set up with Inter to make plans for the new season. I then received a call about Paris SG, the people
who had still not bought the club by then, as they wanted to talk to me about their project. I spoke to President Moratti to tell him that I didn’t know what to do,” stated the former Inter tactician.
Now that the former Inter boss has been replaced by Gian Piero Gasperini, he is considering the PSG move more seriously and is keen to become Les Parisiens Sporting Director.
