At the moment, Inter Milan is in a very good position. In the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since the 2009/10 treble season with Mourinho, they are brimming with opportunities to reach the final after having taken a huge advantage in the first leg against AC Milan (won against AC Milan). 2-0 on the opponent’s field). In Serie A, Inter is also likely to get a ticket to the Champions League next season when it is third with 4 points more than AC Milan in fifth place when the season is only three rounds. In addition, Inter also entered the final of the Coppa Italia, dating Fiorentina in the match on May 24.
Reading this far, you may be wondering, why is Inter in such a great position that their coach is uncertain about the future? The answer is actually quite simple. Because Inter until now has only had such a position, and in other stages of the season, they have fallen into a rather precarious situation. Not far away, just in mid-April, Inter hit the bottom of the crisis. That was when they lost 5 and won only 1 out of 7 consecutive matches in Serie A. It was during that period that negative and cynical thoughts crept into the minds of not only the bosses at Inter but also of the whole team. Simone Inzaghi herself.
Inter has considered a future without Simone and Simone has considered a future without Inter, which is understandable and cannot be changed overnight. In April, it was reported that Inter had contacted a number of names in the coaching village, including Sergio Conceicao, the Portuguese coach who is leading Porto, who is a former Inter player. In addition, they also contacted Roberto de Zerbi, who is very successful with Brighton in the Premier League, besides two familiar faces, Antonio Conte (unemployed) and Thiago Motta (Bologna).
Simone Inzaghi, of course, also has to calculate a way back. He couldn’t just sit there passively and wait, and then one day suddenly Inter kicked him out into the street. Getting fired may be inevitable, but at least Simone has to be prepared, so as not to run out of options. In fact, the representative of this coach has contacted a number of domestic and foreign teams, including the name Tottenham. Spurs are still looking for a head coach and, after crossing out the name Julian Nagelsmann, they also see Simone as an important target.
Both Inter and Simone Inzaghi have the same answer in this story. They both emphasized that the contract between the two sides is still binding until next summer and both want to wait until this season ends to calculate further. However, as mentioned, neither side is willing to sit idly by and both have made their own preparations. What they did not expect was that Inter had such a spectacular finish. If the team wins the Coppa Italia, reaches the Champions League final and is in the top 4 of Serie A, Inter of course must make a move to keep the Italian coach.
Let’s just hope that by then, Inzaghi isn’t shy about presenting a deal he’s already signed with another team.
Lukaku turns on the “save the teacher” mode
Inter’s sublime performance in Serie A is associated with the “return” of Romelu Lukaku. After a series of struggling days due to many physical problems, “Big Rom” marked a revival with a brilliant performance against Empoli (scored 2 goals, created 1 goal). It was also the first win in Inter’s series of 5 victories in Serie A. In the next 4 matches, Lukaku played all 3 matches, scored 3 more goals and added 2 more assists.
