Massimo Oddo spent last season on loan at German powerhouse Bayern Munich, and the right-back is now confident he has what it takes to persuade new Milan boss Leonardo to gamble on him.

“I am curious to get to know Leonardo,” Oddo confessed to the Corriere dello Sport.

“I wasn't very compatible with [Carlo] Ancelotti, especially in the last part of my second season at Milan. But I played against Liverpool in Athens [in the 2007 Champions League final] and that was a great joy.”

Ancelotti left for Chelsea this summer and Leonardo will take the reins next Monday, when the Diavoli meet up for the start of their pre-season camp.

“It was a nice experience at Bayern, but in the second part of the season I went through a dip in form because I underestimated an ankle problem,” explained the former Lazio man.

“Now I want to stay at Milan, unless the coach deems me surplus to requirements. I have two more years on my contract with Milan and I intend to honour them.”
