Former Inter boss Leonardo spoke on the current situation of the club with Sky:
“The situation is not simple. The season started in a bad way because of the summer, but we must not forget the two ownership changes over the last three years. Inter miss someone like Massimo Moratti. In favour of people who do not know Italian football. Even the Italians are not ready for foreign investors, given the history and tradition of the club. Now Inter need a lot of calm, before choosing a new coach, given the situation, you have to review everything what’s going on and how to get organised. who should make decisions, as you must do: this is what needs to be reviewed before calling the new coach. There’s a number of situations to be reviewed and then make the choice.”
He then addressed rumours that he could return: “I’m pleased to be considered as new head coach, but it’s because of my past at Inter. But I’m not the right profile, I’m a coach-manager. The management must be absolutely sure on the new coach, or they’re going to go wrong again.”
Carrying on, Leonardo spoke on having the best average points per game post-Mourinho: “That was a team made, the merit of the media outlets must be divided amongst a solid group of very strong players. This I was able to do thanks to the relationship with Massimo Moratti, who was one of the strengths. Then I quickly recovered the self-esteem of the team. I say that because a choice should be shared because it has good results, today is not so.”
Leonardo concluded: “Inter need to look at the English model, where the owner makes decisions but you never see them. In Italy, Inter need someone representing them. The Nerazzurri must find someone who has a 360° of the club. The owner must know you and you must know the owner. I’m not the right profile, I don’t know the ownership. Now, keeping calm, Inter need to organise a 10 year project, choosing the right people to take it forward. Taking a coach and just seeing what happens is useless. There are many holes in the management and some may have their say.”
