Simone Inzaghi

[HernanesLeftFoot88]

I get he's a Juventini but Conte has to have all our respect. His will to win was transferred into the squad and allowed us to break the barrier of under-achievement.
Its not really about how much did or didnt spent - he elevated the players mentality. Without that culture change i doubt Inzaghi is as successful.

Ffs don't compare Conte to Mourinho

Man, if only Inzaghi had the chance to have Hakimi here...

The thing that pisses me off the most about Lukaku handing in the transfer request when he did is the thought we could have probably kept Hakimi if Lukaku had been sold first. Hakimi was tailor-made to play RWB under Conte and Inzaghi. A damn shame for sure.

At least Dumfries has proven to be a capable soldier and exceeding most people’s expectations, including my own.

Marotta: ‘Inter want to be protagonists, but I won’t talk about treble’​

“It’s a happy moment,” Inter’s president told Sky Sport Italia in an interview.

“But with a sense of realism, we know we still have the final two months of the season ahead, followed by the Club World Cup, in what will be an unusual continuation of the campaign.

“We are competing in tournaments where we want to be protagonists—that is dictated by both our history and our current merits.

“The coach has done an excellent job, as have the players, the team, and the fans. There is the right atmosphere to reach the finish line in the best possible condition.

“I won’t talk about a treble. Instead, I’ll talk about an environment that must always be ambitious. Ambition is not arrogance—it’s something that pushes you to give your best within your capabilities and motivation.

“We are used to competing under significant pressure. The important thing is to fight until the very end. If others prove to be better than us, we will accept it with respect.”

“We have always addressed such matters at the right time,” Marotta said.

“All the conditions are in place to imagine him continuing with us. What matters is the strong connection that has been built—there are the best possible foundations for sitting down and discussing the future.

“With Inzaghi, we have all grown together, and we are in the middle of a cycle that is far from over. There is a new ownership bringing fresh energy, the new stadium project is progressing… everything points toward continuing together.”

Marotta: Inter cycle 'far from over' as he drops hints on Inzaghi's future

Inter president Giuseppe Marotta acknowledged that the Nerazzurri are entering the decisive stage of the season 'in the best possible condition' but remained

Rumors point Oaktree will offer contract until 2028. I would do 4 more until 2029 tbh.

How do you feel about a possible legacy of 1 CL, 4 or 5 scudettos and plenty of supercoppas/coppas in 8 years?

Inzaghi needs to win a CL with Inter, then he's the GOAT of Inter's history for me. He's done incredible things with this team, despite lacking financial support like his collegues had. These things can't go unmentioned.

Some fans don't appreciate this, until times change and unexpected events hit our reality.

I respect Mou for being an iconic coach here, but he's had proper support, high profile playeds and everything. I mean, stats and records won't always show the real matter.

 

[wera]

Inzaghi was close to winning one CL, can't see a reason why he couldn't win it for real next time.

I believe.

 

[Alex de Large]

But do you agree he should have until 2028-2029 to win CL? do not put pressure to win it this 25' or next year.

 

[Jnr]

Last years Inter was such a machine, the road to the final was there. But we bottled the Atleti game on 87th minute, couldnt hold on.

The opportunity was way better than compared to this year, one year older, more tired due to the high match numbers, more difficult teams against us. Look at Bayern and Barca, these 2 teams were way weaker last year compared to this year. And we are weaker this year compared to last year.

The chances are there , but the probability is way more smaller. In a way we are still resembling the Mourinhos Inter. Squad experienced, hungry, UCL final is 4 matches away, Coppa final is 2 matches away. Lets just say I will believe in the Final if we are coming away from Munich with a win.

This Inter is still the best choice for Inzaghi to try to win the biggest of prizes imo. And management have to back him in the summer.

New contract 3 years works perfectly fine.

 

[Alex de Large]

Don't see the negative side of one year older, take it as one more year of experience of our MAIN core (Lautaro, Bastoni, Barella, Dimarco, Hakan, Thuram) all these are in they're absolute prime and will be for the next 3 years, only Hakan is starting to decline and may still hv it until 2027-28

 

[Broseph]

But this year we have Taremi and some random Spanish goalie!!!111

I wouldn't put CL victory a demand for any coach. It's a cup competition where fewest of margins can make the difference. Just look at Pep Guardiola at City. How many years it took to win it, with that amount of spending power.

In 38 match round-robin league championship is a competition, where the coach's impact is much more tangible. I would exclude CL trophy to any season demands. General CL success is something which can be demanded like "minimum QF or SF level".

 

[armendsh]

You cant Demand even fukin Guardiola or Enrique at Psg with all that money to win ChL

While we with scraps frree agents buying player you demand Inzaghi to win lol

Only Real Madrid can demand that for their coach
no other club in the world can Demand that

Inzaghi and Inter are match made in heaven. Whoever doesn't appreciate times like this, hasn't really experienced bad times.

Hopefully he remains here for many years to come. A true gentleman above everything. It's almost impossible to succeed in any aspect of life if you're not a real man, and Simone has it all. I just wish he was a little more rigorous, but we don't know if that would work these days in football.

Supposedly a quote from Daniele Mari (Director of FcInter1908), can’t find him saying it directly but still a message I fully endorse.

“Simone Inzaghi picks up the reigns of Inter at it’s historically weakest economic moment and brings the team up to be a competitive side. The expectations that people put on him and his Inter are all based on what he has done, rather than what he found when he arrived.”

There are some days/decisions from Inzaghi that make me want to smack my head into the nearest wall, but I think he’s essentially working miracles here.

You can call me a satanist; a fully ordained member of the Demone cult.

agree with this. The only real club in the world which can even consider any entitlement to the CL is probably real madrid, and this season alone shows you how close it can be.

100% agree with the comment about 'general' CL success. One bad year where you go out at R16 because you draw Real, or PSG, etc, is understandable, but if you go out at R16 because of Benfica, that kinda sucks, then its about 'general' trends.


Even when we DID actually win it in 09-10, I dont think anyone would have had us down as favourites for it. I remember when Milito scored against Chelsea I was like, huh, we're in a decent position for once against these fucking english teams in the R16, but never did I actually think we'd go through/go on to win the damn thing.


I'd hope for fairly consistently appearing at CL QF from here, and with more investment + rejuvenation & depending on the moves we make in the summer, CL SF as a decent, but achievable, 'stretch' goal depending on the draw.

This is a great point. Inzaghi was required to win the title right from his first season, despite Inter JUST won it, for the first time with that core. And he lost 3 crucial players of that core in Lukaku, Hakimi and Eriksen (going to say Eriksen was crucial eventually). And still everyone demanded that he needs to win, win, win.

When we need to remember how hard it is to actually retain the title, Inzaghi did very good job and has done very good job at Inter. The second season was surely a bit of failure, but even that he managed salvage with the CL final run.

Mostly agreed.
But when you spend the way Madrid, City, PSG or Barça have done SOME years, you have the obligation to win. All those years where City-Madrid were above everyone else, not winning CL for either of them was a FAILURE.

IMHO there are only fans who think they are entitled to win, not players/coaches/clubs who think they are guaranteed to win.
