In 2003, Leandro signed with
J1 League club
Tokyo Verdy and served as a coach under manager
Lori Sandri. In May, Lori Sandri was sacked after the match Verdy lost 7–2 to
Júbilo Iwata on May 5. So, Leandro managed the club as caretaker from next match on May 10. He managed three matches until Verdy signed with new manager
Osvaldo Ardiles in June. He left Verdy in August. ==Managerial statistics==
