Luciano Spalletti

[rfU]

By overall I meant his whole coaching career, udinese, roma, etc. Even in his peak (05-07) he still couldn't beat us lol

 

[Bluenine]

People forget where we were before Spalletti. We finished 7th, 14 points behind the last CL spot, and hadn't qualified for the CL in years despite huge transfer investments.

Spalletti was not hired to win the scudetto, nor do we have the squad to achieve that. He was hired to qualify for the CL and hopefully with some consistency so that Inter can build on a sustainable model of investing into the club to reach our rightful place. And so far, he is delivering exactly what was expected out of him. And that is despite not getting the promised big investment (#InterIsComing) and all the chaos and drama that comes with pazza Inter.

Sure, if we have a chance to lure a world class coach like Pep or Klopp this summer, that will be too good an opportunity to pass. Apart from that, if Spalletti continues performing like he is, there is no other reason to sack him. Inter are benefitting greatly with the consistency of CL qualification and the money which comes from it. This is how you slowly build a successful club.

Lets stop looking for lottery ticket mentality to instant success that comes with playing musical chairs with your coaches' job, hoping one of them will turn into the next Zidane. We have done that a lot over the last 7-8 years, hows that worked out so far?

I am all for this new mature, slow path to success.

Mou didn’t ask for the right players. When inter got him what he needed instead what he wanted, name wise, we became very successful. Maybe same should be done for Spalletti. Let Marotta choose the players in the needed positions. Have someone manage the clubhouse too

By winner it's not about the trophies (...)

i mostly agree with you, still it has to be remarked that spalletti is not gasperini. the latter crumbled under pressure immediately at Inter, while spalletti is resisting and after almost two seasons is still here, somehow has brought champions league and there are good chances he will again this year. so celarly he's not guardiola, but he's no gasperini either.

Like I said, he won't win us anything. And I'm not convinced he has a handle of things quite yet either. We need a coach with better man management skills for sure. And a coach who has won trophies is important because it instills a winning mentality in the players.

I actually agree with this point. However regarding comparisons, we need to compare to the fourth spot in the season before Spalletti (because Italy had only 3 CL spots). It was 72p when Inter had 62p. So yes, it was +10p but not as huge as 14 points. Spalletti has done okay job, but this mess in the squad at the moment is at least party his fault for sure.

Though it must be said, that even if I want Spalletti out also after this season, it's possible we don't have better replacements for him. I bet management is actively looking a solution for this while everything is moving at the same time (we don't know if we have CL football or not next season).

 

[Linege]

as for getting right players, i want to remind that our wages are up a 40% from 17/18 to 18/19 without any jump in quality of play (gross from 75,5 to 107 now)

i dont know, but someone has to pay for it, ausilio or spallo

 

[CafeCordoba]

I that really true? +40% for this season? Because that is fucking massive.

 

[Il Drago]

Spalletti completely lost the dressing room to such an extent that the management had to intervene in order to save our season by changing the captain. That's a reason enough for me to fire Spalletti. In terms of man management he failed spectacularly and there's no guarantee we won't have a repeat of this next season.

 

[Campione]

Only one good game doesn't land a team in 3rd place after 28 fixtures. Wtf are you talking about?

We should evaluate the situation at the end of the season. If we end up finishing in 5th or 6th, then we can consider changing the coach; because it can be argued that - despite all the chaos - a coach with these players at his disposal should at least finish above Lazio/Atalanta. If Spalletti gets us a CL spot, it would be perfectly retarded to sack him.

Well, back in 2008, Mancini got us a Scudetto but he was sacked, was not he? To be honest, we are now in the CL spot simply because Roma and Lazio are shit.

And I wrote "if we want to progress", because this is Spalletti maximum. Getting you to top 4, playing in Europe (EL or CL, does not matter) and reaching a 1/4 final in the Coppa. Not to mention the fact that we looked like crap in most of the time this season.

 

[Fmlover]

if we make it to the champions league.
I am gonna give him a chance, at least for 1 season again.
hoping under marrota, we will buy better players.

 

[A.l.i]

Even with third place, this is the max he can take Inter to. He is not the coach that will get you to competing honours, simple as that. We are Inter, we should always be competing for titles. Enough is enough.

Spalletti was just a good choice for stability and to ensure we reach the CL from mediocrity. Now to the next level.

What do you based your assumption on? Spalletti was 2nd with a much less money club.

In other words, he maximized the capability of Roma squad. If you give Spalletti a Scudetto-worthy squad, and he fails, sack him, no doubt. If you give a squad significantly worse than Juve, and ask for Scudetto, then you shouldn't look for coach, but a miracle maker.

 

[JJM]

debunk this Spalletti haters!

 

[Palacio]

debunk this Spalletti haters!

He is a coma patient, his moments of awakening are extremely short. I hope I am wrong though about him.

What if we give a squad significantly better than Sassuolo or Torino or Chievo and still drop points by defending 1 goal leads? Coaches with winner mentalities don't drop points like this. What are we, 20 points behind Juventus? SMH

I kind of agree with you except for the sacking at the end of the season. Imho the most important job a coach has to do is get the best out of the crop of players he has at his disposal and i simply dont think he has been doing this. We ve underperformed since fucking november, yes there was the occasional ok game (napoli) but 90% of our games since November have been a shit show so it s basically been 4 month without any significant improvements until the derby.

Yes injuries and absences have made his job hard but again we lost against way inferior teams with very unspirited performances, it s not like the squad vs milan was way better than the one that played vs cagliari yet there are worlds between the two performances. I know it s partly because we played bbilan and they tried to play an open game which made it a bit easier on us. But the main thing here imho was motivation we once again saw how much difference motivation and determination makes our players looked like they wanted that fucking win bad so they went and gave their all. Compare that attitude to the attitude in 90% of our games since then it s a huge difference. Usually we get scored on once and we re fucking done at least since november that is.

Now my problem with that is that motivating the team in a derby comes by it self and i dont think spallo had much to do with it. Not taking away from him outplaying gattuso in the first half on a tactical level.
I mean since the treble we usually looked quite ok in Derbys no matter our general form or strengths of squad same goes for the derby d italia. After all we were the first to win in jube stadium with a shitty squad and a shitty coach.

Bottom line if we go on to play unmotivated shitty football till the end of the season then i dont really care if we finish 3rd or 4th when it comes to replacing spallo.

Imho he has to show from now till the end of the season that he can motivate these players and that the majority of them are still supporting hm otherwise it does not make much sense to keep him.
Especially if coaches like Mou or Simeone are available.

Are you doing anything special for your 55th birthday this summer? :slick:
