Leonardo To Be Sacked Unless Milan Win Next Two Games - Report
The Rossoneri coach has just two games to keep his job...

Milan coach Leonardo has just 180 minutes of football to prove he is worthy of keeping his job as the club lose patience with him.
According to Il Corriere Dello Sport, the Brazilian has been given two matches to turn the team's dwindling fortunes around. The Rossoneri have been stuck in a rut, and they will need to evoke winning performances against Roma at the weekend, followed by Real Madrid in the Champions League.
The report claims anything less than wins in both matches will see the coach being sacked and replaced by former centre-back Filippo Galli. He will be a temporary solution to guide the team through the season before the club appoints Luciano Spalletti in the summer.
Marco Van Basten's name is also circulating around Milanello, but Galli seems to be in pole position. The Italian has received praise for his solid work in Milan's youth sector, and he could be promoted sooner rather than later.
Despite the reports, the Rossoneri have not confirmed any plans to replace Leonardo.
