Leonardo to keep his job at Inter Milan despite the uneven season – Serie A Update
Even though Inter Milan failed to succesfully defend their treble from last season, their season cannot be termed a failure as the club has finished second in the league while also cementing their place in the final of Coppa Italia. Head coach Leonardo http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Araujo-c6435
is highly likely to keep his job intact at the Nerazzurri for the upcoming season owing to the team’s performances under his command.
La Benamata started the season in disastrous fashion under Spaniard Rafa Benitez. Under the reign of the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 manager, the team lagged badly and the statistics prove just that. The men in the black and blue jerseys won 6, lost 4 and equalized
4 games in the Serie A until December.

and were put out of the title race.

This gave birth to a lot of speculations regarding Leonardo’s future with the outfit, and mant predicted the end of Leonardo’s reign in the Black and
Blue half of Milan. However, recently talking to the media, Inter Milan’s transfer Chief Marco Branca clarified the situation and said:
"I think the president Moratti has explained his intentions regarding the future. Our coach seat is not hot but very fresh. Now we are thinking about giving it a better team, but still, we have to be careful to not make many changes too fast.”
The Nerazzurri take on US Palermo in the final of the Italian cup on May 29, 2011, at Stadio Olimpico in Rome. This is a great opportunity for Leonardo and his men to prove their fortitude and defend their Coppa Italia trophy successfully.
