Leonardo

Leonardo was a left-back and Brazilian midfielder, revealed by São Paulo, where he stood out in the late 1980s. He transferred to French football in 1991, defending Valenciennes before being signed by Paris Saint-Germain. He was world champion with the Brazilian National Team in 1994, although he was sent off in the victory against the United States in the round of 16, one of the most remembered moments of his career. After the World Cup, he transferred to AC Milan, where he became one of the most versatile players in the squad, winning the Italian championship in 1999. He retired from football in the early 2000s, in Japan, and later built a prominent career as a football executive, holding positions as sports director at clubs such as AC Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan.
