Istanbul: Ambitious Turkish top flight side Antalyaspor, which boasts a star-studded line up including Samuel Eto'o and Samir Nasri, on Thursday named Brazilian Leonardo as its new manager.

"Following talks, our club has signed a two-year agreement with Leonardo," Antalyaspor said in a statement without giving financial details. 

Leonardo, who has previously been manager of AC Milan and Inter Milan as well as director of football at Paris Saint-Germain, replaces Riza Calimbay who stepped down after a slow start to the season.
