Leonardo accepts Inter job

By Football Italia staff

Leonardo has today returned to Inter as the new director of football with the Milan giants. The 42-year-old had been in the same role at PSG in France but has now decided to move back to Italy as part of Erick Thohir's new look staff.

He had resigned as director general of PSG after a nine-month ban was extended to 14 months for nudging an official after the Ligue 1 game with Valenciennes.

His suspension was not due to expire until June 30 2014, but today the tribunal accepted his lawyer?s view that the French Federation cannot suspend a director once he leaves one of their clubs.

The Brazilian will now be in charge - alongside manager Walter Mazzarri - of the club's transfer policy.
