We are a fucking shitfest at the moment. We are in no position to ask for Simeone or Conte at the moment, let alone expecting to win the Scudetto next season for fuck's sake.
Spalletti is the best we can have at this moment. He's not the greatest of coaches. Not in the same level as Simeone and Conte. But he certainly is a way better coach than Mancini. His Roma squad time and time again outplayed Mancini's Inter which had by far the best squad in the league back then.
This season, he just led Roma to 87 points. Any other season, that would have meant the Scudetto. Unfortunately, Juventus have been too good (or too lucky, depending on how you see it) this season.
Right now, we need a coach who can actually do the task of rebuilding this circus of a football team that we are now. Spalletti is the one who I believe will finally take us there after countless of pathetic coaches we had since Leonardo.
This more or less sums up my thoughts as well.
He's not Simeone or Conte, but let's be serious here. People are bitching because we didn't somehow lure one of the top 5 coaches in the world away from better jobs when we might not even be a top 5 team in Italy at this point. And folks can kill the 'We are Inter' noise, no one except Inter fans care about that shit. Throwing out names like Simeone, Conte, Pochettino, Sarri, etc. and then complaining when we don't hire them is disingenuous at best. We're in no position to lure an elite manager away from their job which is no doubt better than what we're offering.
As far as Juve goes, they're simply on another level at the moment. Something that we (along with Milan) have played a significant part in with our historical levels of incompetence for the better part of the last decade. They've basically become Bayern Munich or Real/Barca at this point. Criticizing Spalletti (or Sarri, or anyone else for that matter) for not finishing ahead of them is pretty laughable. I also find the "
he's not the manager to lead us to the scudetto" talk hilarious. I hate to break it to people, but Conte, Simeone, Mourinho, Pep, Ancelotti and the ghost of Helenio fucking Herrera could all come to Inter and form like Voltron and we're still not winning any trophies any time soon. If a manager can come here and have us competing for a top 3 spot with the likes of Napoli and Roma while playing a brand of football that doesn't induce fits of suicidal rage then they should get a statue built outside the San Siro.
In term of style of play, that doesn't concern me one bit. Are people really worried that a coach is going to come in here and disrupt the magical total football we've been playing these past few years? If we had a solid foundation to build off of that would be one thing, but continuity does you no good when your starting point can best be described as a special needs gym class.
If it were up to me, there would be a clause in his contract that paid him 100mil if we sacked him. Something to force our management to stick with a coach who has proven to be competent elsewhere and give him time to implement his ideas.
