AC Milan boss Leonardo has passed his first Serie A coaching exams.

The Brazilian underwent the course at the Federation's Coverciano training camp and sat the final exam to earn the Second Degree Coaching qualification.

"A test is always a test and that means it creates a bit of nerves, but it was good to debate with the lecturers and I am happy with the result," he said.

"Today I am officially a Coach and it is very pleasing. It was a bit of a surprise in my life, to be honest.

"The course was long and difficult, but it was the right thing to do."
