There's pretty much zero argument in favor of keeping him, unless he pulls a rabbit out of his hat and gets us to the UCL semis.
They didn't do it properly with having no real alternative to alegri. Inzaghi and alegri are about as different as they come.Tbh that was their plan A. Marotta's top target always was Allegri who has no clear system and just adjusts to his squads. But when he chose to go to Juve they hadn't done their homework and they had a very simplistic approach. Who's the most proven Serie A coach (we only look at Serie A) who plays with a back 3? Inzaghi. Let's go for him. But systems are a lot more than just formations.

I don’t see a real reason why he should radically change what we are playing. Looking at last season, an individual fuck up against Milan und the derby and more of the same in the process and against Bologna got us the title lost, it was not as if the general approach to the games was wrong from a tactical standpoint. Winning the cup and the supercoppa and additionally our surprisingly good games against Liverpool in the round of 16 proved further evidence that the general idea of how to play is there and ok.In what universe his tactical competence cannot be questioned. Go watch udinese game, where they had 5 on 2 counterattack. And i m choosing that moment cos we had numerous situations like that since he came. His tactical competence is zeman like in its naivety, and that's one of the most constant things about him.
Agree with everything else you wrote, but selling this man as some sort of tactically sound manager whose only problem is his man management is imo missing the whole picture. In fact, i m sure it's the other way around, his problem with motivating players stems exactly from the inability to put any sort of firm backbone into teams. By firm backbone, I mean fixing the leaking goals problem he had both with us and lazio and the fact you can set your watch for his team to have at least one major meltdown during the season.
And also speaking of tactics, it's always the same. I don't see any variations on the theme, we always play the same, in the same high rhythm which is pleasant on the eye but also what a lot of fans misinterpret as some sort of tactically sound approach, which as we saw during the whole course of the season it isn't.
not only that, I would also add his questionable subs which often time led to losing points. At some point, I started to feel like he did them on purpose.It wasn't an individual fuckup that cost us the title at Bologna. It was a mentality problem. We started the game very well, we scored early with Perisic and for whatever reason we just stopped playing and became complacent instead of going for a second to finish it off. And this has happened very often in the last two years.

Replacing him with who? No serious coach would take the team now when top 4 is at risk. I can't see how finishing the season with Chivu would give more guarantees than keeping Inzaghi.If we dont win vs Juventus, we need to replace Inzaghi. The risk of not getting into the CL next season is too significant.
Do you give Chivu the job and hope for a dead cat bounce from the squad? We're in an impossible situation. I don't think firing Inzaghi will necessarily fix anything, but if we go out to Porto and lost to Juventus, he has to go.Replacing him with who?

But still? Inzaghi fired, NT break and Chivu comes in? Does Chivu have ANY authority to this squad? Despite us tanking those matches, one could argue Inzaghi is still the best shot keeping us at top4.Do you give Chivu the job and hope for a dead cat bounce from the squad?
