Leonardo Issues Milan With Five-Point Ultimatum – Report

Leonardo Issues Milan With Five-Point Ultimatum – Report
Milan coach Leonardo wants more decision making powers over several key aspects, including the transfer market, if he is to stay at the club.

Reports in Brazil have linked the coach with the national team job when Carlos Dunga leaves at the end of the World Cup and Silvio Berlusconi's recent complaints have only fuelled the speculation further.

However, Leonardo wants to stay, and he is expected to give the club the following five-point ultimatum, according to Il Corriere Dello Sport:

1: He wants to rejuvenate the squad. Out with the old, and in with the new. Young players who do not demand mega wage packets.

2: Leonardo wants more involvement on the transfer market. He was behind deals for Kaka, Thiago Silva and Alexandre Pato in the past, and he wants more decision-making powers. Last year he wanted Edin Dzeko and Luis Fabiano.

3: New rules on training. Leonardo has set morning sessions this season to ensure players do not have excessive mundane sessions. He plans to make things more severe next term.

4: He wants independence in his choices. He will no longer accept complaints from senior players like Gennaro Gattuso, Filippo Inzaghi, Clarence Seedorf, Gianluca Zambrotta or Mathieu Flamini. The players will need to accept the environment with more serenity.

5: Medical section. Milan's fair-share of injuries have worried the coach this season. He wants to adopt new measures in relation to the medical department at the club and he will intervene personally in certain circumstances.

I personally agree with all his demands and would be estatic if he stayed and recieved this from the Milan board. He has performed miracles for us and deserves all the rewards in the world.
Cheers Leo, you have my vote!
