Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti believes the stars are aligning in their favour for 2011.
With Leonardo's appointment, Inter have won their opening two games of the New Year.
"It is clear that the recovery of the injured has helped us, it is useful to have a strong team," said Moratti. "The World Club Cup has given us great confidence, but then also we needed a good coach and now we have him."
Moratti was also asked about a January deal for Udinese star Alexis Sanchez.
"No, I do not think we will sign him this month."
