Erick Thohir has returned to Jakarta, but will, according to Tuttosport, return soon and will bring with him Leonardo. The Brazilian has been identified by both parties as the ideal profile. Moratti had already thought about taking him back to have a strong man at Stramaccioni’s side before Mazzarri’s arrival. Leonardo will be perfect for managing Inter while Thohir is in Jakarta, with his associates and some old Inter Directors. When Moratti suggested the Brazilian to the Indonesian tycoon, he accepted immediately, given his work in PSG.
The only obstacle for Leonardo’s return is currently the 14-month long suspension handed out by the French Football Federation after the clash with referee Castro. FIFA has now acquired the documents from the incident and the suspension could be extended to the international level. If that were to be the case, Leonardo would not be allowed at stadiums or in the referees’ spaces. In practice, this would not prevent Leonardo from being named as a director, but in terms of image, it would not look good and could prevent a return to Inter.
