"My relationship with Inter will terminate when I stop coaching". Inter boss, Leonardo, doesn't think of a future behind the scenes at Inter. Speaking in a press conference in the run up to the Serie A match against Chievo, he said: ""The relationship I have with president Moratti is very clear, as all my relationships are. Our meeting was a relaxed affair; that is, as relaxed as it can be after a defeat like that. And I'd like to clarify that, contrary to the things I've read in the papers, I came here to work as a coach; when that finishes there won't be anything else - I didn't come here to work behind the scenes. I was employed to coach the team. And there is still a very real possibility that we can carry on doing what we have been doing. What ties me to this club, more than my contract, is what we want to achieve together. Nothing has changed for me after these two defeats, apart from the fact that we have to find a solution. You say the president sees me in a director's role? Well, the president saw me working behind the scenes for many years, because that's what I used to do, but now I'm a coach. That said, I do still see things from a director's point of view at times, but that's normal having been one for so many years.

often look at things from the club's point of view. What would I have said to myself if were a director now? Perhaps I would have been less kind than the president - he took it extremely well. What do I think about other coaches' names being linked to Inter? That's nothing to do with me but it's all part of the game. I'm really not bothered by it. I'm not afraid of anything and I have nothing to lose. I have something to do, not something to lose. They said that I wanted to quit the other evening, but I had no voice left so I wasn't able to..." joked Leonardo.

Finally, there was a brief comment on Diego Milito: "Judging by what I saw on the pitch, Milito is a hero. A hero, considering everything he has been through and the amount of time he had spent on the sidelines."
