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 would say that's a bold statement that you expect me to be proven wrong, ie. you expect Inzaghi to leave Inter after this season, after Inter has won the CL?

Have you listened to anything Inzaghi has said recently? I see no reason not to believe what he says.

Inzaghi would be crazy to leave inter now esp for Chelsea or United. He has a really good squad here working well together

If he wants to leave, do it at the end of next season. His reputation will be further cemented as a top coach if next season goes well assuming this one ends well too. Another good CL run this year and then solidifying it again next year will be very hard for him to lose his reputation even if Chelsea or United go poorly. Right now for most people he's had one decent season and hopefully a great one this year

It seems quite unlikely he leave, while Chelsea and United are likely intriguing destinations they aren’t unproblematic and I think many coaches are really thinking twice because of the issue that exists at direction level in those clubs. You can literally destroy your career going there, it’s a huge risk. I think if he goes anywhere it be the likelihood of Liverpool or Barcelona, but even then he might be pleased enough where he is at for now. I wouldn’t blame him if he dos decide to go to more luxurious destinations as I think it’s hard to be recognised enough if you don’t go England, Real or Barca some point in your career.

Precisely, Inzaghi would really have to love money to go to Chelsea or United (given they would even offer considerably bigger wages than what we can). Those are not stable destinations at the moment, you can more easily ruin your career or at least take a backstep if you go to those destinations.

He will continue to build his career at Inter so that he will be a staple in European football. And if he can continue this work he's been doing his years at Inter, nothing stops it from happening IMO. He can be a big name without leaving. And then he can leave when he is a big name. That's when he can collect the big money if that is even what he wants. Challenge is another motivational thing of course.

But that's AT LEAST few years away.

Need to pay this man what he wants. No complaints with player spending, doesn’t get agitated by the media and we’re steam rolling Serie A. 🚂

Man has been in the shadows of his brother for years it’s time for his success.

It took +2 years of hard work for this squad to learn his style of football and now he's reaping the rewards, why would he throw everything away when he can make history here? If I were him I'd be dreaming of multiple Serie A titles and a CL trophy

Besides, he's still young, he can go to England/Spain in 5-6 years and still have plenty of time in his career

I really hope this is our year in CL.
Let me be very clear. If Simone bring us the 4th CL, I just don`t fucking care, if he wants to leave. If winning the CL means Simone is gone, I am Ok with that.
Of course I would love to stay here (with or without CL, which anyway is a mega pipe dream) and be sure his list of pretentions probably will grow exponentially, but that would be rightful.
Back then, even if it was painful, I understood Mourinho.

These opinions can be troublesome things. Like assholes. We all have them, and they act up at times.

What is inferred in my statement is that he would need to win the CL. And if that happens things will happen I am sure. But if not, well, it will not be the first nor the last time I have been wrong.

So to me it is not bold to think someone will be wrong. It happens all the time. Also and by the way I think we are going to win the CL. This team from the first moment I watched them play this season spoke to me of confidence and potency. There is something very different about them. What that translates into we will see but Inzaghi has done a world class job building them into what they are and he deserves what is coming.

Yeah whilst Mourinho's situation was one thing. We all kinda knew it.

With Simone, if the CL comes I'll be bitter if he abandons ship. Even if it's for the Italy job which I imagine he dreamt of.

Simone has found a home here, I think that's how he feels. And that's how we started to feel as well, at least based on the last 12 months because prior to that almost everyone wanted his head and called him a loser :lol:

If Simone wins us a CL, it means he can win another. And I want that. He can be our Ancelotti. If he wants to build a great legacy here and reaches a point of saturation and wants to try coaching historic clubs like Real Madrid or Liverpool, so be it. But it's not that day yet.

(I'm still not overly confident of getting past Atletico, it'll be a gruesome affair and we wouldn't have seen anything like it in the last 6 years of returning to Europe)

According to tuttosport, one of the conditions to stay is to not let go any of the key players
its tuttosport, so i am pretty sure they are talking out of their ass, but I do agree, that thats what Inzaghi should demand... Same for Lautaro, or any top player. If I was Lautaro and they tell me at the end of the season they are selling Thuram, I am not renewing.

Honestly I might be completely wrong but unless there's a drastic change of ownership of we get knocked out r16 I don't think we will be forced to sell a star this summer, unless there's an offer too good to refuse

I read somewhere that the money for the World club cup next year are enough to save our asses this season.

Give him whatever he wants and sign until 2030. He is smart, inteligent and every year he will be better and better. If he decide to go to PL, it might happen that after lost 2-3 games, he is going to be fired. In Inter, he has not that kind of pressure.

Yeah conceptually but it will also depend on the CL for example..if we assume we are making the semis and get knocked out at r16, then the 50m from the world club doesn't help that much it just covers assumptions if you see what I mean?

That being said hopefully we are in good form for the world club, I need to check what the prize money are

And he is totally right! Fucking Suning.
Bye bye then*, because we are at least loosing one key player. There absolutely no way on earth our owner would not push towards a sale if but more likely when a 100 plus million offer ends on the table for Martinez.

Heck even Dimarco, Bastoni and Barella are all in demand so even they could easily end up on the block as well. Our owner will demand a sale if the price is high enough and also Marotta aren’t the type of director that says no to a 100m.

Everyone is for sale, we all know this, some pride coaches need to understand something that simple, no key player will ever be safe regardless of club, all it requires is the right offer, at us this is even more true as we are also because of financial circumstances a feeder club. We simply cannot say no to a 100m

* TS so should probably be taken with a truck load of salt.

I suppose that the negotiations about possible renewal will take place after the end of the season. If we win the Scudetto, go far in CL, then Inzaghi has the rights to make serious demands. Otherwise, if we somehow fuck up every tournament we are into, he has almost no leverage to ask for something big.

Based on how things are going this season, I hope he will continue to be our coach.
