Perpetual Managers Rumours Thread

[.h.]

Was he any good at Samp? Unless there's some genuine strong reason, I'm not really a fan of ex players for ex players sake

Two things can be true at the same time.

1. Players let Inzaghi down in the first half. MASSIVELY.
2. Inzaghi fucked up with his subs in the second half which led to a pathetic display. And this isn't the first time that happens in his 4 years at the club.

Inzaghi isn't blameless for our results or the perfect coach who can do no fault. 12 points out of 27 against Serie A's top 7 is woeful for a side that wants to challenge for the Scudetto. Without ifs and buts. We have to accept some hard truths. Sample is large enough. He has been subpar in the league for most of his time here. 2023/24 feels more like the exception rather than the rule. He has managed to keep the club competitive in difficult times but in crucial moments in the league we usually crumble. He is saving it with his achievements in cup competitions where he does extremely well. Another problem is he doesn't prioritize competitions and he wants to challenge in all fonts. That's great in principle and it's nice to say we're Inter and we want to win all the titles but when you don't have the squad to do it it's the recipe to end with zeru tituli.

But he is also far from Inter's biggest problem. In fact in our current ownership situation he's probably the best coach we can have (with the asterisk of his mentality towards youngsters). He is patient enough to work with our nonexistent budgets, he won't make a fuss to the media, he can keep the club competitive while using a functional system (in most times), he guarantees CL revenue and there are no issues in the dressing room. We just need to accept we will be competitive in CL and we will be in the mix for the league but we shouldn't expect a Scudetto every year. We could win the title when stars allign but more often than not we will lack the consistency to go all the way.

We also need to take into consideration the tactical challenges of firing Inzaghi. A switch to a back 4 would require a squad revolution that can only be funded by selling your best players. Are you willing to do it even if it means spending at least 2-3 years (best case scenario) in rebuilding mode? Just look at Juve to realise how difficult it is. A highly rated director paired with a promising coach and this is the result of the first year. Do we have the patience as an organization (club, fans and media) to give time to a new project? Honestly i don't think so.

So despite his flaws i am still Inzaghi in. Let's stick with the coach, regroup and focus on reinforcing the squad in the summer.

To me it's insane to even think about getting rid of Inzaghi.

No coach is flawless. Inter's depth is massively overrated given what kind of depth we need (read: what are the goals set for each season). If he's backed up better by the club, he will do even better.

How about Stankovic? I have been following him at Spartak Moscow and he is doing a pretty good job there. What I particularly like about him is how flexible he is as a manager changing his setup and tactics depending on the opponent he is facing. I know it is a Russian League but still

No. He utterly failed at samp. Till he shows he can handle the big leagues he shouldn't be anywhere near Inter.

 

[Jnr]

I have a new name on my wish list , but I bet he will be long taken before Inzaghi leaves.

Cesc Fabregas. I think this guy will be great coach someday. 37. Not ready as of today, but will be.

 

[Il Drago]

When Inter and Inzaghi decide to part ways, my dream hire would be Nagelsmann. He would be such a great fit for so many reasons. But sadly it would never happen.

I'm secretly hoping for simeone once he finally says goodbye to atletico. It would be interesting to see how we would look with a more conservative and less demanding approach energy wise. I know in a way we saw it with conte, but I think with simeone we would look even better, especially in cl.

 

[Besnik]

I'd be fine with anyone but Diego Simeone. He's exactly one that I would never support to have as Inter coach. At this point I can't imagine someone else instead of Inzaghi. There's a strong bond between him, the club and the fans as a whole. Our club has to stick with him even if things won't go our way for a certain period. He's managed to turn things around when results weren't on his side, despite that he lacked proper support from management.

I wish he would be given proper players and backups. That way, we could have a perception of what he's truly capable of. He's still done incredible things IMO, but management still owes him something. Other elite coaches have always gotten full support and massive transfers, something which Inzaghi doesn't.

Why?

The guy would leave his blood and sweat, just like every single of his players... He has the "Inter DNA" recipe in his veins.

I just don't like his personality. To me he seems like a Theo as a coach. I also think he's slightly overrated. He's had incredible financial support, also massive salary and everything else, but his football is still painful to watch, and it's not like he's a serial winner. Then again, my point is not entirely based on his trophy cabinet, as much as it is based on how he's as a person.

Whenever I watch Atletico I think they underperform. For how much he's paid and the squads he had there he underachieved. I think he'd fail at Inter.

I'm secretly hoping for simeone once he finally says goodbye to atletico. It would be interesting to see how we would look with a more conservative and less demanding approach energy wise. I know in a way we saw it with conte, but I think with simeone we would look even better, especially in cl.

Conte's squad was deeper than this one. Back then in 2019 Cholo would've been better. Now we're very thin. It might be an interesting thought to play more defensive to conserve energy exactly for those reasons but I wonder how much we can rely on counter attacking football most of the time when we lack pace.

Simone is getting most of this squad but I'm afraid starting next season we'll have to accept top4 as maximum because this team lacks investment for many years now. We can try and play different styles but the squad's limitations are starting to be exposed. If our only investment in summer is one defender then I'm lowering expectations tbh.

I thought for some reason Fabregas owned Como as well but seems I might be wrong?

Lol no

Como are owned by an Indonesian. Actually richest owner in Serie A.

 

[.h.]

Ah ok weird. I thought he bought them then made himself manager and brought in a second coach who was licensed ha

 

[vex]

Think he owns some shares, or he invested some money in como though. I know he has a side business of some kind, and he is a successful businessman and millionaire outside of football.

Yes he had shares, not even weirdest thing Como has now, Dennis Wise is one of their chief executives.

 

[#NotForMe]

I used to like Diego Simeone, but tbh I think he is the best when he is managing an underdog team, and for us to go there, it is like we are not even aiming to be a big team.

Some people think we should play more defensively, but it is not up to us, take yesterday game for example, if we used Chivu's approach, it will just end at 0-0 most team are content to draw us, so we are forced to control the game and siege, while preventing/controlling counters, which is something Diego struggled to transform A.Madrid into with success, like yea A.Madrid is more a big team now and they try to play so, but they are far from convincing, at least last time I saw them or based on results.

The only sensible scenario I see us using another coach other than Simone Inzaghi would be we downgrade our squad even further and start playing terrorist football, and even so I might be underestimating Inzaghi's ability to coach an even more inferior squad.

Even we are trophyless this year, I would keep Inzaghi, obviously no one wants to have no trophy including Inzaghi.

 

[Alex de Large]

At this point i also prefer Cesc to Simeone. Plus we are talking about the future, 2028 or 2029 or something like that. Also Simeone is too expensive.
But i dunno if Cesc can achieve Limone's defensive qualities?

 

[crzdcolombian]

Motta will leave Juve and let's see how he does in his next team. His Bologna was very good with a pretty limited team and a lot of young players. Think he just lost the locker room at Juve.

Inzaghi isnt leaving. He got us a title, to a champions league final where Lukaku fk'd us and last 8 this year. Unless a EPL team comes for him, Italy or PSG wants him and pays us. I dont see him leaving so this thread is kind of premature. Even if he has 1-3 bad seasons he done enough for ownership to keep him. We dont have the budget and he fine with anything they want to do. He hasn't gone Conte on them for not cloning Messi and Ronaldo so he has strikers
