Simone Inzaghi

[Il Drago]

The club is also to blame. Why they increased his salary at first place? Just see De Laurentis. Spalletti brought Napoli back to CL, now they are like 99% champion, and the owner still do not hurry to give him a new contract.

We are the only club in the world where it's considered unthinkable to start the season with a coach on an expiring contract. You won't find this bs narrative elsewhere. It was embarrassing Inzaghi got an extension with a salary increase after choking in the league last season. There were reasons for concern from our second round last season but our ownership and management were too blinded by winning Coppa.

They did the same with spaletti. Would have hoped they learned from past errors.

As I remember they renewed him when he had results and we played really good. Nonetheless, it was really amateurish to renew him when you still dont know how season will end.

Parolo in essence explained what Inzaghi's "freedom" means - leaving everyone on their own to figure out what to do.

I am not saying that I want Conte back but I would much rather Inter play with is structure and rigidity than the way the team plays under Inzaghi.

In translation i ll give them a freedom because I don't know how to properly manage players so i ll leave that to them and in return when things go downhill I will comment how they lack proper mentality.

And to some extent it's true, we have mental midgets in the team, but that all ultimately stems from a coach not having balls or not knowing how to put things where they need to be.

 

[CafeCordoba]

Very interesting points by Parolo. So we have very loose structure as per the design.

Issue is we indeed do not have some leaders gameplay-wise who would lead by example and drive the play. Barella COULD be that but he just gets frustrated too easily and obviously he can't do stuff by himself.

Lukaku SHOULD be that guy who we throw the ball and he creates havoc but he ain't that anymore. And he's never been a guy who's some superstar to drive the play. Lukaku needs that rigid structure and the whole game orchestrated around his strengths. None of that happens with Inzaghi.

All this leads to conclusion Inzaghi is not for Inter.

But we cannot change him mid-season, hoping another guy would do any better. We ain't gonna have some new system at April, working immediately with some new random guy. We still dominate most of the games and new guy can't put the ball to the net, that is our players' job.

If they decide to keep him for the first Benfica match, then fucking keep him till the end of the season.

If this 10th defeat was not enough for the management then who cares if we play the Europa League or Conference League next season.

 

[ADRossi]

No one is suggesting Chivu is a superior coach to Inzaghi. It's clear as day the bottom is falling out of this season. Continuing to employee Inzaghi is going to lead to a massive failure on three fronts. So our management has two options: stay the course, and watch the train crash in slow motion, or try and inspire change. Chivu might give us a bit of a dead cat bounce by galvanizing the locker room.

Will Marotta do this? No chance. But I don't see the point in staying the course. It's clear as day that our trajectory for the season is:
1) Finishing 5th or 6th in the league
2) Losing to Juventus in the semifinal
3) Losing to Benfica in the quarterfinal

 

[varmin]

Еven if we win the Coppa and eliminate Benfica, finishing on 5th spot will be massive failure for Inter.
Marotta won't replace him just like he kept Spalletti to the end, risking the CL qualification. Now, it will be the same most probably, but I'm not positive at all.

Thanks for sharing that.

This really aligns with everything so far. I would agree this Inter might not synergize with Inzaghi, cause we lack of a true captain as @CafeCordoba mentioned; which means he will be a great manager for some other top clubs (not even sure are we one anymore) like Real Madrid, Bayern, but not for PSG, ManU/city, clubs that doesn't have a long tenure natural leader, or a lot of mature, professional players.
I think if we hire a locker room manager this might fix the problem, I think we did something like this back then.

Overall, I still prefer having Inzaghi + a locker room manager than one just gives a rigid, highly disciplined squad with trash tactics, cause we will have a very clear ceiling; with Inzaghi it is going to be volatile as F, cause the whole club isn't stable at this point, and he won't be able to control the group like mentioned in the video.

If we get eliminated by Benfica, I am all in for getting rid off him right away.

Another good coach that might not work well with us at the end.

P.S. it is kinda funny how Allegri & Conte did in the CL in contrast to Inzaghi. I mean if we are all in for a substantial investment each year and content on doing just well domestically, then yea get a rigid coach; else the way I see it is it is risky with Inzaghi, but there are also chances to achieve more; also if he had the right support, things might be different.

 

[Fapuccino]

Was hoping to wake up with the news of his firing. I don't understand the management. He's lost 4/5 last games. Forget CL, that's relegation level performance.

 

[Armes]

He'll only be allowed to stay if he manages top4 in the league and reaches the final in champions

 

[Ethor]

Took the blame for yesterday's loss, so the players will get some deflection of the blame. As for moviation Juve next in the Coppa, if players can't bring their "A" game it's solely on them IMHO.

 

[Dave54]

I don't know what Inzaghi can do, when we miss open sitters left and right. Not supporting him, because of his inability to get away from 3-5-2, but yesterday, the score could have been easily 5:0. Lukaku had 3 chances, Miki one, Dumfries one. What is clear, The club should not even think to continue with Lukaku. He is done. for the salary he is making, thank you for your services. With Inzaghi, I would wait to see what happens with Benfica games. and top 4 situation. But firing him right now is not a solution.

He doesn’t give our mentally fragile locker room the belief they need and our tactics are not defensively sound. There’s just no way the relationship can continue beyond this season.

I would also like to see what happens with Benfica because I think he’s at least earned the right to play out the tournament, but it could also cost us top 4 in the process. There’s no great option here. If we get dismantled by Benfica in the first leg, we should absolutely relieve him of his post and get an interim manager focused on top 4.

 

[YoramG]

This whole season has stunk of Spalletti's second year - players who know they might leave, Skriniar/Icardi parallel (please don't jump on this I know they're quite different situations), a manager who knows he won't be here at the end of the season.

I imagine we'll limp to the finish line like that season.

 

[NimAraya]

Since there is zero rumor about him getting sacked I'm gonna hope he somehow make the team put their shit together and play basic football right.
And I hope we get our injured players back ASAP, specially Skriniar so we don't have to endure Dumfries starting and playing like a Serie B player.
