LEONARDO is doing a very good job says Milan vice president Adriano Galliani, who did not actually believe in the appointment of Leonardo, despite backed him all the time.
The poor pre-season and the limping start of the season accompanied with speculation suggesting sacking Milan coach Leonardo from his job after few months in the job.
However, the situation is quite different now, as the good results have finally arrived to Milanello, and Leonardo’s critics eat their hat.

Abate: We Are Playing Good Football And Improve
Milan are well-placed in the fourth place in league, and three further points will see them in second place if Sampdoria and Juventus drew or loss in their next fixtures. Plus, they are unbeaten in their last eight games.
“The two matches with Real Madrid have shown that Leonardo is doing a good job. I like his formation a lot and President Berlusconi also likes it, as he has always wanted a team with an offensive vocation,” Galliani said before a meeting of the Lega Calcio.
“Please don’t ask me where I think we’ll finish. I am always superstitious. Milan play good football. Leonardo has been very good at creating a tactic that can get the very best out of Ronaldinho on the left and Pato on the right.
“Leonardo confirms our tradition of developing coaches born and bred without specific experience, just like it was with Sacchi and Capello.”
