Whilst half of the city of Milan is in rapture, AC Milan are suffering and coach Leonardo has paid the price. Leonardo refused to discuss his future this week after a defeat to Palermo left Milan unable to clinch the title, but patron Silvio Berlusconi has now announced that the search for a replacement is underway.

"Leonardo will leave," Berlusconi said. "We are working on a new coach."

Asked who would arrive in his place, Berlusconi said: "There are talks in place with others. Leonardo has been too tough-headed and the team has played badly this season."
