New AC Milan coach Leonardo has no regrets ever since taking over Carlo Ancelotti at San Siro.

The Brazilian has explained that he is off to a good start as coach, according to channel4.com.

"After a month I am even more convinced about my choice. I needed this period to understand many things," Leonardo explained.

"We have built a group and I have been able to compare myself with lots of people, even outside of football.

"I was very close to Ancelotti during his period as Head Coach and it was a great emotion and a great energy to take his place.

"I have spoken a lot with Paolo Maldini and we have been very close." Leonardo revealed.

Leonardo also explained his choice of the new captain - Massimo Ambrosini.

"I am happy for Massimo because the DNA of Albertini, Maldini, Costacurta and Baresi stays. He symbolises the Milan brand.

"It's my first experience as a trainer and he will be my first captain," Leonardo concluded.
