Inter Milan: Simone Inzaghi could make the Champions League win a separation gift with Victoire on Paris Saint-Germain in Munich | Football news
The days at the end of the biggest club football match, the Inter Boss, Simone Inzaghi, would prefer the goal of beating PSG in the Champions League final on Saturday.
But this is not the case. “It’s crazy to talk about my future,” he said at his pre-final press conference this week. He may not be discussing yet, but everyone is.
It is inevitable, in the midst of long -standing frustrations of the club’s frugal transfer policy and an outright refusal to deny the links with the Saudi Pro League Al Hilal team during this same press conference, that the touch paper was lit around the San Siro.
The Inzaghi contract at San Siro has another year to take place, but discussions are scheduled for next week with CEO Giuseppe Marotta to determine if it will see it.
It would be a major blow for the Nerazzurri if it is his last match. Inzaghi has been Inter’s most successful coach lately. Even more than Antonio Conte, who brought the club to the top of the Italian game after almost a decade.
Although it can end like his only season without trophy, what he has done in four years is quite remarkable. While Conte won a first scudetto in 11 years, he did it with significant financial support and left in a few weeks, when he became clear that money would be leaned.
Inzaghi’s first job as a successor in 2021 was to supervise more than 150 million pounds sterling in sales, losing Achraf Hakimi to the opponents of Saturday and Romelu Lukaku in Chelsea. They took them seven transfer windows to even spend the funds they brought.
His budget was not a worthy of a double finalist in the Champions League and six times winner of the domestic trophy. Inter has made a net profit of around 100 million pounds sterling under its mandate, the largest in Serie A. And yet they are here, at the top of European football for the second time in three years and only the third in six decades.
They beat Bayern Munich and Barcelona en route to the final and lost only one of the 14 games in the competition this season.
Inter, unsurprisingly, desperate to link the 49 -year -old man to a new agreement, on an increase in salary with a promise of more loose stock market ropes. Even without that, Inzaghi brought not only a success, but also an fascinating brand of Fluid counterattack football.
Alessandro Bastoni has become one of the most cultivated central defenders in the world. Federico Dimarco is among the most coherent players in Serie A. The trio of rotary midfielder by Nicola Barella, Hakan Calhanoglu and Henrikh Mkhitalyan are a nightmare to follow.
It is difficult to blame him if he decides enough. The most he was able to spend on an individual player is an expense of 25 million pounds sterling on each of Davide Prattesi and Benjamin Pavard. Inter has aligned the oldest average starting XI of Serie this season, and appointed 11 against 30 in his team from the Champions League. The inevitable incoming reconstruction will need time and patience.
While his hands were attached, he could only look with envy that Antonio Conte arrives in Napoli last summer, spent 125 million pounds sterling and stung his side for Serie A by one point.
The success of the story team means that their prohibiting career will end on a sour note on Saturday if it proves its swan song. Football has a sorely short memory and Inzaghi has taken a large part of the heat for the lack of inter -argentie of Inter thanks to poor management of the games and the team, always one of its greatest faults.
While Napoli was able to focus only on the League and Coppa Italia, the Inter fought on four fronts. After the final, they will have played 19 more games, but may have nothing to show. It is a contention apple that Inzaghi has not better chosen its priorities.
When he led Inter to their last final of the Champions League in 2023, they finished 18 points in the title, but won the COPPA Italia and the Italian Super Cup as a consolation.
This time, even the counting of the lowest points necessary to win Serie A in 14 years has proven an overly steep hill to climb with errors perceived of the manager and the management.
There have been accusations of Inzaghi based too much on marginal players tried below. Only Bologna has brought more composition changes through the season of Serie A. The central rescue rear, Yann Bisseck, which started 17 championship games, faced particularly spicy critics.
Inter lost 12 points from the winning positions and conceded 15 goals during the last half hour of the games. The most painful of them was Pedro’s injury penalty in Salvage Lazio a 2-2 draw in San Siro in the penultimate match of the season. It was Bisseck who gave it.
Without that, the Inter would probably seek to finish a league and a European double this weekend. Instead, he can take the Champions League trophy to raise the atmosphere at San Siro – until this meeting between Inzaghi and the board of directors, anyway.
