Massimo Moratti explains Inter Milan’s strategy on tactician issues – Serie A Update
Inter Milan President, Massimo Moratti, has claimed that even if they find a new head coach at San Siro for the upcoming 2011/12 season, he will still ask Leonardo http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 last year from their bitter
rivals, AC Milan, in December and after a good run initially, he failed to impress and the Nerazzurri finished the season with inconsistent performances.
After being criticized and humiliated all across http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sporting-89-c40576 Director by the French Ligue 1 outfit, Paris
Saint Germain, and the tactician was reported to be keen on a move out of Italy. In light of this scenario, Inter have been considering the options available for the soon-to-be-vacant post.
The most likely option for the Nerazzurri coaching position was that of the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chile-c2871 international boss, Marcelo Bielsa, who rejected Inter’s offer. According to the latest reports, Gian Piero Gasperini, the former Genoa tactician, is the hottest candidate
for the San Siro post.
Moratti was recently interviewed by Inter’s official website, where he discussed the situation regarding Leonardo and Gasperini. The President said:
"No, you wouldn't be lying, but it's not that we're closing in on him. He's being evaluated and he's a very serious person and a great professional. But I haven't decided, no. There are always alternatives and there's also the fact that Leonardo is still
our coach. I would like to remind people of that. It's not that Leonardo has left or sought to leave. He's had the freedom to see whether there was a possibility, which is not entirely football-related, because it was something that was no longer his http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684,
but another job. But in any case he remains our coach and I could recall him whatever happens."
Leonardo is in the good books of the team and the President as he was the one led the team to a second placed finish while also winning the Coppa Italia. However, it would take a couple of days for a final verdict to come out regarding the outfit and a tactician.
