Member when everyone here thought it was too soon to give him a new deal? it was like 5 months ago.

Maybe it's time we stop thinking too much about all the economic details here and there, and just keep our sight on the bigger picture. Sometimes we will have to pay to sack a coach, but more often than not the trust and stability that come with a longer contract will be worth far more than the risk.

People discount that there were signs of greatness at Lazio. He could have won the league in 2020 if it weren't for covid. And the new 5 subs rule in the middle of that season.

Yeah that 5 subs shit combined with the tight schedule in the summer absolutely wrecked Lazio.

That's a bit of a stretch. When football stopped because of covid Lazio were one point behind Juve. No one knows how the title race would have evolved without covid. Maybe they could have done it or maybe they could have crumbled under pressure the closer they got to a Scudetto.

Also you need to remember Juve were eliminated from CL pretty early so they would also play one game per week post February.

As far as the praise that he’s been getting from abroad, Inzaghi said that “It makes me enormously happy to hear.”
“But I don’t want to hear about Inzaghi. I want to hear about Inter.”

“I’ve always enjoyed watching my teams play,” he added. “That’s what makes me the happiest.”

(y)!! Forza Demone
You make us all happy with the way Inter are playing.

This is the first time in a very long time, maybe even ever, I've been at this stage of a season and really looking forward to the rest of it going asap.

Normally we've had a shit feb, even under Mourinho we were like barely clinging on to the top spot.


How unusual not to have Feb blues.

yeah, the only time we had such a good run was under Conte, which was straight 11 wins from January to March

You'd have to be pretty stupid to think English food is all the food available in England. England - especially around London - probably has the most diverse food range in the world, joint 6th most michelin stars in the world, etc.

But, sure, living in impoverished 15k euros a year as a senior manager in a bank, in a mafia country, that's better.
Fair enough.

I have been to England only a handful of times and I inevitably end up in the pubs eating British food. Probably has more to do with my choice of venue I suppose, given that some of my compatriots like to go on tours or dine at michelin restaurants but I rarely emerge from the bars.

But then you also have the weather and the women. So yeah I'd prefer Italy by a landslide. Spain by the way is even better.

I cannot see him go after this season, no matter what happens.

He has a united team behind him and management team which are providing him pieces. He's gonna get a pay raise for what he has achieved and even if it's not as much some other club could pay, I would claim the things I listed in the previous sentence have more factor than some millions more in Inzaghi's bank account.

He has a legit chance to build Inter to be a force in Europe again. I can't see why he would throw that away for a "new challenge". Because that new challenge might aswell be a total disaster (Man Utd, Chelsea, Bayern). He knows what he has here and it looks good.
You may be right but I expect you'll be proven wrong. And my reasoning is because Inter is a feeder club, which is a harder existence for a manager than being with a club that represents the top of the financial pyramid.

What would Inzaghi be if Inter were bankrolled at that level. No idea, but he has shown he can build a top unit with a shrewd football organization around him, so the next step would be can he run an organization that assembles the best talent.

If he wins the CL then I think there is a very high chance he is gone. I expect a lot of top club movement this year among the different leagues, with the biggest bankrolled clubs looking for new blood. Chelsea, Utd, Liverpool, Barca, Bayern plus maybe Arsenal. Feels to me like this may be a very interesting summer.

I don`t know. You may be also right.
But the memory in football is very short. You are in one year one of the most priced assets, but only after a "mediocre" year you could be relegated from the likes of Inter to Lazio again or even worse. If the team will not be dismantle, and I don`t see any reason for it, Inter is the best option for him. And he will not find another don Beppe there. Chelseas or Uniteds or these world, could be a career killer. He is not someone like Ancelotti or Mourinho, who after mediocre spells will receive good offers.

This. Inzaghi was squeezing every ounce out of that squad for years. Perpetual overachievers. There was no guarantee he’d be able to make the step up, but he was mighty impressive in his only other professional coaching gig before inter. And Rome is not a easy city to coach in.
