Leonardo saves his job (for now) with precious wins
After Carlo Ancelotti left to Chelsea in the summer, the AC Milan board took a chance with Leonardo, who played himself to legendary status amongst the Rossoneri fans in mid 90's. On the pitch, Leonardo was one of the most intelligent players in his era, but he's still unproven as a coach.
The AC Milan hot seat was probably the most unattractive one for the top coaches in the game, as the squad is very old, a laughing stock amongst football fans as "the old folks' home for footballers", so appointing Leonardo was probably the only right decision the board could make.
