Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho has given the appointment of Leonardo as new coach of Inter Milan his approval.
Mourinho never was convinced by the decision to replace him with Rafa Benitez over the summer.
"Leonardo is great. I ask the Inter fans to welcome and support him the way you did me!" Mourinho told the Gazzetta dello Sport.
"Last season Leo proved he is a Coach of real potential. He is a great professional and not to be tagged as a Milanista. He dedicated many years to Milan and will now do the same for Inter with the same passion.
"I really do wish him every success. Please support him."
