Jose Mourinho asks fans to support Leonardo
Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has urged Inter fans to support Leonardo as he takes over at the helm of the Italian club. Mourinho has already ensured his place in Inter folklore by leading the club to the treble of the Serie A, Champions League and Coppa
Italia titles last season. Inter’s phenomenal success is all the more remarkable when you consider that such a feat had never been achieved by an Italian club. After his stellar season with Inter, Jose Mourinho moved on to the greener pastures of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 as
manager of Real Madrid.
Former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 manager Rafael Benitez was brought in to fill Mourinho’s shoes. However, Benitez found life at the San Siro very difficult. Expectations were sky high following Inter’s historic treble, and Rafael Benitez snapped under the pressure. After
his side’s victory in the FIFA Club World Cup, Benitez launched a remarkable attack against the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 president Massimo Moratti. Benitez told Moratti to either back him or sack him, forcing the Inter president’s hand. Rafa Benitez was dismissed from his position
as manager of Inter Milan a few days ago. Benitez will be succeeded by former AC Milan manager Leonardo.
Jose Mourinho has asked the Inter Milan fans to back their new manager. Speaking on Leonardo’s appointment as the new Inter boss, Mourinho said, “Leonardo is great. I ask the Inter fans to welcome and support him the way they did with me.Last season Leo
proved he is a coach of real potential. He dedicated many years to Milan and will now do the same for Inter with the same passion. I really do wish him every success. Please support him.”
Mourinho’s well-wishes are remarkable, especially since the enigmatic manager is not exactly known for being nice. It is worth noting that last season, Mourinho was in direct competition with Leonardo, who was the manager of AC Milan at the time. However,
it seems that Jose Mourinho is actually speaking from the heart when he asked the fans the stand to behind the new Inter boss. Leonardo’s first trial will be in the home game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 on the 6th of January.
