Simone Inzaghi

[RickyMaravilla'sRightFoot]

I’m afraid they’re not that many options available this summer. The only top guys available are Simeone and Tuchel, both of which probably out of our price range. In serie A there is really only Juric that I rate, and he’s even more unproven than Inzaghi. Of course there may be better under the radar picks, but I doubt our management is smart enough to think of them. Inzaghi may very well be the safest option going into next season so you guys should prepare yourselves.

If our management is reluctant to sign players without Serie A experience imagine how it's gonna be with coaches. Marotta would never even consider an emerging coach from abroad. He said it himself when they hired Inzaghi to replace Conte. While they rate coaches from abroad they wanted to sign someone from Serie A.

I can even imagine how that list would look like.

At the top there will top coaches who are impossible to hire. Simeone, Tuchel and any other top coach who could become available. Then there could be Pochettino due to his ties with Zanetti but i doubt Marotta would go for him. Then there would only be options with Serie A experience. Juric, Sarri, Gasperini, Allegri ( ), Motta ( ), De Zerbi. When there were rumours Inzaghi could get the sack it was reported Ausilio's preferred option was De Zerbi. De Zerbi may look like a "sexy" hiring but coaching Brighton is much different than coaching a top club in Italy. I also have my doubts if it's wise to go for another attacking coach when defence is already a big issue. Also we would have to make many changes to play De Zerbi's system.

Mourinho could also be an option but i doubt they would go for him.

I don't know if Inzaghi is the safe choice but he certainly is the easy choice. And our management loves easy choices.

 

[#NotForMe]

Darmian. And that just shows you how shit we are.

LOL this one really cracks me up, I guess part of it is I was doing serious reading on rfU post then this boom!
But imagine Simone really turns to Darmian and pauses then gazes at him and go "You are up. Do your magic."

 

[Adriano@10]

We are second we basically played most of the season till now without Brozo and Lukaku who were supposed to be key players, we had a huge transfer drama with our captain and best CB in the middle of the season and people are shitting on inzaghi?
Like IMHO he s not responsible for any of this shit.... But it had a huge impact on his work.
I m not saying he s done great so far but considering the circumstance imho he s done well enough....
If what we are currently seeing Lukaku barella incident and also barella lautaro in training is a indication of there being trouble in the group and simone cant resolve it then by all means fire him. But if the team spirit is okay and we finish secong and maybe even get past porto it would be insanity to fire him.

...then you call Cassano a fool for saying that only winning the CL would save his job

I say bring Porto, then Milan, and we could just might pull it off

I like cassano but the statements he makes as a footbal "expert" are fucken ridiculose....
If we get past porto and finish top 4 we should keep simeone imo
Not like big names are lining up to coach here or that we have the money to pay them.

Pointless. Everyone knows Inzaghi will be around another season. Management should back him fully til then. Everything else like player management and motivation should be handled quietly, in house. Just a udeless distraction. Instead the players, especially lukaku, should be called out publically. Lukaku is playing for his career. Any other top club, his contribution would be unacceptable.

 

[YoramG]

he's just like Conte. A man that has no plan B, and his plan A is worse than Conte's. Retard should have left Skriniar/De Vrij out at the half and put Darmian on that left spot, or switch to back 4 and go with 3 attackers. But, no, lets wait until the 90th minute, to go all out vs fucking Sampdoria.

Summit number 403 this season. And nothing will change, exactly like the previous 402.

One thing that also bothers me is how little he trusts young players. I would be even willing to forgive some of his shortcomings if I saw at least one primavera player on the pitch every other game. Both pioli and allegri successfully integrated fagioli and thiaw, or at least they were given some serious minutes, with us there isn't even indication of that. Ffs I think even conte who would legitimately sell his mother for a title had more trust in our younger players than inzaghi.

352 is not the problem.

352 sucks cock, we play ugly ineffective football

The problem is it goes beyond primavera players. One could argue primavera players are simply not good enough. He also does the same with youngsters who have been club investments. Asllani has played less than Gagliardini at an expiring contract, even with Brozovic being injured for months. He threw Bellanova in the game against Barcelona and the match against Empoli when we were behind and with a man down but his playing time in between has been very limited.

Another issue is the way he deals with Dumfries. For better or worse club counts on Dumfries bringing a good offer in the summer. But Inzaghi has benched him in almost every game post World Cup. He started only in the Coppa match against Atalanta when Darmian had to replace suspended Skriniar. Darmian is expected to start against Udinese as well. Inter are losing money right now. No one is going to spend big for Darmian's backup.

Inter’s directors have made clear to coach Simone Inzaghi what their expectations for the rest of the seasons are, and that there are no excuses for falling short

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport who report that the Nerazzurri directors have told Inzaghi that whilst the Serie A title is obviously out of sight, the team must push for second place in addition to fighting hard in the Champions League and Coppa Italia.

The directors are still concerned that the team could start to mentally write off the rest of the season based on the apparent impossibility of winning the title.

They want to avoid this attitude at all costs, and also have told Inzaghi that it cannot be used as an excuse for the team slumping over the rest of the season.

Top four in Serie A is obviously the bare minimum for Inter given the financial catastrophe that would be represented by missing out, but just as important to the directors and President Steven Zhang is the manner in which a Champions League spot would be clinched.

Inter currently sit second in the table, and the directors expect the team to clinch this spot, and do so in convincing fashion over the remaining matches.

Meanwhile, Inter head to the Champions League knockout rounds where they will face Porto in the round of sixteen starting next Wednesday.

Obviously the club do not expect Inzaghi to win the competition, but they have made clear that the team cannot simply bomb out in unimpressive fashion.

In the Coppa Italia as well, the club’s stance is that the Nerazzurri can still do a lot to save their season if they can defend last season’s crown.

Inter President Zhang’s view is that Inter can still be thought of as one of the top eight or so teams in Europe.

Finishing second in Serie A along with an impressive performance in the Champions League and another trophy in the Coppa Italia would go a long way towards achieving this.

Accordingly, the coach Inzaghi has been told that he must put the past in the past, and that there is no excuse for falling short from this spring onwards.

the summit you guys were mentioning

 

[Ethor]

For once, I'm pretty much in agreement with Inter's directors.

 

[Jusef]

I think these Inter directors need to take a look around. What other Italian club manager, referring to Spalletti, Allegri, Pioli, would have been able to qualify from that CL group of death and stay in the Coppa?

Didn’t Marotta’s favourite manager just get beaten by the same AC Milan that is in crises.

Inzaghi does as he pleases with player choices and that's how it should be. If Dumfries is not good enough, he doesn't play. It's management problem after the season if Dumfries fetches too low offers. We can't tell coach to use players to improve their value.

Inzaghi has a season to focus on right now.

Wasn't inzaghi a successful primavera coach with lazio? Which reminds me of stramala... How many of that famed next Gen trophy winning team broke into the 1st team squad? How many of those went on to have successful careers elsewhere? Could be our youngsters just aren't good enough (or ready), and given that inzaghi watches them week in, week out and has considerable experience with youngsters, maybe we should have faith in his judgement. Just a thought. Personally, I am more disappointed in our scouting/youth coaching. Since we took a turn in the mid 00s to focus more on youth we have produced next to nothing. Surely that can't be all on Inzaghi.

 

[CafeCordoba]

Next to nothing? I guess your standards are pretty fucking high here. There are multiple players in Serie A who have been Inter youth players. Getting to Serie A level is IMO pretty fucking good in the end given how many players there are eventually not making it to highest level of that particular country.

 

[nurko]

Recently playing in Seria A or other first-tier leagues from that generation: Di Gennaro Benassi, Duncan, Bessa, Livaja, Crisetig, Mbaye?
Other than occasional run of form from Benassi and Duncan, no one would get into higher end teams.

You should also take into consideration that pioli & allegri are both forced by circumstances to play those youngsters (injury crisis @ both teams). The problem with not trusting youngsters is the Italian mentality in general, not just a specifically inzaghi issue. Imo, if we want to have coach that trust youngsters, we should hired non Italian coaches (which also very risky considering what happens with de boer)
