Beppe Marotta

[delaurentis]

Probably the best decision they could have made.
Imagine that, Marotta as president of Inter. I just have full trust in the way this club will be going with Marotta as president.

 

[Luka]

Well deserved my boy. Well deserved. Keep rockin.

Man, that brings back memories all the way back to the beginning when I was so so happy when we brought him despite so many people having the oposite notion. I instantly knew what that meant for us. Ending this kindergarden we had till then and going back to what the world class club is all about - professionalism and acting like adults. And it was visible right from the start with that moron (icardi) saga. What a clown he was and his gold digging whore. Trying to squeze in whatever he could and using captain band as a shield for his shameless behavior.

It always amazed me at the time how many fans did not see it and could not stress their imagination and look into the future past 2-3 years and how much beneficial it will be on the long run, despite having some negative effects on the short run. It was all "Marotta is idiot and destroying the club" haha.

Happy to see now pretty much everybody is on his side now.

It's a serious business from that 2018. The longer, the better.

ps. Fuck off icardi and your 304. I'm sure you're happy with your choices in life.

Our True President .. King Marotta

 

[varmin]

Deserved. I hope that he will stay on that position, and this will change his mind to stay at Inter longer.

 

[Jane The Virgin]

Marotta gives character to the whole team.

Marotta is an og baller.

The funny thing is that as long as he is here I don't want a rich owner with unlimited funds.

I just want that we keep the core of the team, upgrade each year with a 1 or two starters, reinforce the bench.

Sell the Lukakus, the Onanas for big profit.

Get more Italians.

That's it.

 

[brakbrak]

Get more Italians.

That's it

Remember when Eder was the only Inter player in Euro 2016 team? It's good to have 5 (6 if you count Acerbi) starting caliber player in the italian national team.

Remember when Eder was the only Inter player in Euro 2016 team? It's good to have 4 (5 if you count Acerbi) starting caliber player in the italian national team.

We only got Materazzi back in 06 too , but we are Inter man

 

[brehme1989]

We only got Materazzi back in 06 too , but we are Inter man

Until the 80s we were joint top provider for NT, gap widened there and until 1996 we became 3rd behind Milan.
Now it's still quite similar, maybe we're lagging a bit behind.

We should have been closer to the top, if not top. This "we are non pro-Italian" bs because of the name needs to stop being a thing. It never was such thing. The irony is that the league allowed foreigners 3 months aftee our foundation and Milan signed several as well within the next months. Best mistake in Italian football.

Thanks for the info. The way I see it is, we are not "anti-Italian" , but we are also not exactly Italian only, I don't think it is just a name (Inter), but truly football is for everyone including foreigners (in the Italian's perspective), even you said there was a change of the league 3 months after our foundation, it doesn't change our foundation.

Being a top provider for the NT is a cool thing, but even when we don't, it is not something to be ashamed of.

Presidente!

Marotta is at Euro 2024 and here is a compilation of his most of recent interviews:


The Nerazzurri delegate was of asked about the performance of goalscorer Barella, who continues to impress for club and country alike.

“He is a player who has the humility of a workhorse, but also has special talent. As a player, he is modern and complete,” Marotta told journalists in Germany.

Marotta was also asked if Barella is capable of playing in the ‘Calhanoglu role’

“Yes, he has all the qualities,” Marotta replied. ”Vision, support, he’s a very valuable player from a competitive point of view. With strong basic technique, he is an eclectic player.”

Marotta takes great pride in the fact that there is such a strong cohort of inter players at the heart of Luciano Spalletti’s national side. He even coined a new term for the Azzurri, dubbing them the ‘Inter-national’ side

“Italy is the heritage that must unite all the clubs, the fact that there is this hardcore of Inter fans, it’s become an ‘Inter-national team’. That fills us with great pride for all the work we have done and all the growth the boys have enjoyed.”

“I send my compliments to everyone, we are very proud that Inter can make a contribution.”

Radio Anch’io Sport interview

Marotta first discussed Italy’s 2-1 win over Albania in their opening Euro 2024 game

“I went as a fan and as a director of Italian football and I was impressed by the atmosphere, the enthusiasm of the guys and the coach. I’m very optimistic for the future.

“We’re reigning champions and, as such, we are in the sights of our opponents. But it’s clear that this is a squad with human and technical foundations of great depth.”

He was asked about next year’s revamped Club World Cup

“The information we have isn’t very concrete. It’s clear that this Club World Cup, a source of pride for us and an important showcase at world level, represents a further overloading of the schedule, a serious problem in our football that’ll become even tougher next season.

“There’ll be more matches with the new Champions League format, to win the cup you may play as many as 17 matches, including the playoffs. The schedule is getting more and more compressed, it should be reviewed, and Serie A should be reduced to 18 teams.

“We must protect the work of our guys, the current workloads are no longer sustainable. The risk of injury is very high, and it also risks compromising the spectacle.

“To make it clear, in the 2022-23 season, Barella played 52 matches from mid-August to the beginning of June. In addition, too much supply can generate a negative effect, football could lose its attractiveness.”

Marotta gave his thoughts on the quality of the Italy squad, considering the relative lack of a standout star

“I think we have the right average age. As Buffon said, this is a team that’ll give us great satisfaction in a couple of years when they reach their peak maturity.

“The foundations are being laid so that this group can continue, with occasional additions, and can give us a lot of satisfaction.”

He spoke highly about Inter’s Davide Frattesi, who is part of that Azzurri squad

“Frattesi is another very good element, he’s a very modern player. He makes his competitive strength a feather in his cap, but he can adapt well tactically. Football is always looking for eclectic players. It’s the task of us directors to look for and find players who have these characteristics.”

Marotta discussed the increasing emergence of Saudi Arabian money in football and Oaktree’s mindset in charge of Inter

“Sport represents a great relevant heritage of our Italy, which must be protected. We’re no longer the Eldorado of football as we were in the early 1990s, today we represent transitional football. Our players are often attracted by big salaries, and it becomes difficult to keep them.

“Our ability should be to worthily replace them and not to create barriers by buying players recklessly. Of the 20 Serie A owners today, 10 are foreign, this means that our patronage model of the 60s and 70s is no more.

“We must take note of this, and indeed it’s a good thing that foreign capital is arriving, otherwise our football would be uncompetitive and at risk of default.

“From this point of view, it’s clear that these investors, as in the case of Oaktree, manifest a desire to always maintain consistency and stability in their management, but with transparency and great economic-financial rigidity.

“That seems fair to me. No to crazy spending, yes to increasing value of young players, this is the motto that must distinguish us.”

Marotta weighed in on the debate surrounding agent fees and commissions

“Absolutely, last season we almost reached a billion in commissions, a billion that goes outside the system and therefore does not provide for further investment.

“I understand that this profession has to exist, but we often see unclear situations. The actions of these professionals who are now part of our movement must be regulated.”

He was asked about the idea of seeing Inzaghi take over at the Italy job one day

“Inzaghi is very young and still has time to gain experience. This year he has made a remarkable leap forward, he’s a modern coach who combines professional and human qualities.

“Obviously, there is a lot of pressure on him, he is the technical manager of a worldwide club and as such he is expected to achieve certain results. I’m very happy and optimistic for his future, the hope is that he can stay with us for many years.”

Marotta spoke about Antonio Conte’s move to Napoli

“I hope that our league will be more and more attractive, when there are more teams competing for the Scudetto, coached by winning coaches. The hope is that we can enjoy it. Then it’s obvious that the hope is to see us become champions of Italy once again.”

He provided an update on Inter’s new stadium project

“The problem of stadiums in Italy is truly remarkable and heartfelt. Today we have great difficulties, because there is a bureaucratic slowness of authorisations that then leads to an almost flight of potential investors.

“We have stadiums that are almost 70 years old on average. The hope is that a definitive location can be found, we’re working on it. We have identified the Rozzano area, where the club have extended the exclusive contract with the company that owns the land until 2025.

“Then there is this proposal from the mayor to deliver a project for the redevelopment of the San Siro stadium. We’ll see, but right now it’s a bit early to say.”

Marotta confirmed that Lautaro Martinez’s new contract is almost fully finalised

“Virtually he has already signed it. We have to collect his signature and, as he is busy with his national team, it’s only a matter of a few days but there are no problems. We consider Lautaro’s renewal already secured.”

Finally, Marotta discussed Inter’s ambitions for the new season

“We must not set ourselves limits. We are Inter, we represent a historic club. We take great pride in our second Scudetto star, the goal to pursue is to always be competitive.”

Marotta on Calhanoglu, Gudmundsson and Inter transfer plans​

The former general manager was promoted to the role of President when Suning lost control of the club to Oaktree for failing to repay a loan.

Despite that situation, Marotta assures Sky Sport Italia that there will be no fire sale at San Siro this summer.
“We survive by taking care of the balance sheet and have no need to sell. We acted early, thanks also to the work of Piero Ausilio and Dario Baccin. As you know, we already signed the contracts with Piotr Zielinski and Mehdi Taremi, so the team is competitive.
“Now we need to finalise a new goalkeeper, then the team is ready to go. Obviously, we must always leave room for the unexpected, but I don’t think anything will happen.”

Zielinski and Taremi are both free agents, so arrive with no additional cost for the club that is trying to cut its record debts.

There were strong reports in Germany and Turkey that Bayern Munich had approached Calhanoglu, but he assured during EURO 2024 that he had no intention of leaving Inter.
“To be honest, we have not received any request, but we welcome Calhanoglu’s statement. We are proud that he has this great sense of belonging.”

Marotta also warns Inter are not going to enter the race for Genoa forward Albert Gudmundsson, despite being considered the favourites.
“We all know that Gudmundsson is a good player, but our attack is fine as it is. We are in negotiations for a goalkeeper.”

Translation: currently there is no space in the fowards department, so first we need to sell.

 

[Hikonyán]

Going into the season, which has more CL matches and club world cup, with only 2x quality forward + 3x garbage bin quality ones will likely be a massive failure tbh.

Imagine Lautaro getting injured and being forced to watch one of Taremi or Arnautovic start alot of games, yuck. Not even counting Correa for anything.

 

[wera]

At least Taremi can play with the ball at his feet and knows how to pass the ball. I don't think he'll have a 10 goals type of season, but he isn't that big of a drop compared to last seasons Sanchez.

Arnautović >> Correa for sure.

 

[DARi0]

“I’ve read many names, including those of Marcos Alonso and Gudmundsson, but I rule them out today. Our team is already strong.” - Don Beppe

Genoa President Alberto Zangrillo, on the other hand, claimed that Inter were interested in Gudmundsson but wanted to sign him “for free” so on loan with an option to buy.
