Inter: Leonardo out, Bielsa in?

[King Binny]

Apparently the Qatari owned PSG is bringing in Leonardo as Sporting Director. Moratti also confirmed that contact has been made with Marcelo Bielsa.

That's a pretty high turnout of manager for Inter. Would be interesting if Bielsa does take over. His Chile team played pretty offensive football that was a joy to watch.

Parma hitman Crespo gave an insider’s view of what it was like to work with Bielsa.

“He is meticulous and very focused on the details. Everything is organised perfectly. His training sessions last a couple of hours and in that time you are not allowed to catch your breath.

“His tactical lessons were extremely long, sometimes players would fall asleep during them... The fact is that Bielsa wants to experiment everything, so many games between ranks to practice the movements of attacking and defending.

“Bielsa was absolutely clear in the locker room with iron-clad rules.”

Yeah Leonardo seems to be off to PSG in a director role.

And he's trying to make his first piece of business there to sign Ganso ... Milan's no.1 target.

Doing his best to ruin the reputation he forged at Milan over 2 decades!

How many different clubs are Qatari owned?
I expect a prem club to be owned by them soon if not already (though I think that rumour is BS)

Bielsa is a very good coach and loves playing attacking football. if he arrives I expect inter to score many goals.

Can't wait for his 2 hour press conferences :laugh:

President Massimo Moratti is “fully satisfied with the decision” after Inter officially appointed Gian Piero Gasperini.

The news had been expected and an official statement was posted on the club website at 15.00 UK time.

“Gian Piero Gasperini will be the new Coach of Inter. President Massimo Moratti, who is currently outside of Italy, confirms he is ‘fully satisfied with the decision.’

“Along with the whole club he wishes Gasperini ‘all the success that has brought Inter to the title of World Champion.’

“The official announcement will arrive once the final red tape has been cleared and, at that moment, we will also confirm the date of his presentation to the media.

“Gasperini, aged 53, will sign a two-year contract and work with the staff already at the club plus two new collaborators, assistant Bruno Caneo and fitness coach Luca Trucchi.”

Gasperini's Genoa played pretty offensive football 2 seasons ago. Would be interesting to see if he manages to achieve success with the same approach having been given this opportunity.

That could be taken two ways, as the bishop said to the actress.
