AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has confirmed Leonardo will be new coach next season.
"It's true, Leonardo will be the Milan Coach next season. He will be presented to the Press on Monday at midday," revealed Galliani, just hours after Carlo Ancelotti had confirmed his resignation.
"It's not over with Ancelotti," assured the Vice-President. "There remains friendship, affection and eight marvellous years together.
"I am very good friends with Carlo and I must admit there were a few tears shed in the locker room this evening."
