Simone Inzaghi is highly likely to get sacked if he doesn’t regain the trust of the management through strong performances in the remainder of the season. If it indeed happened, Inter would prioritize Roberto De Zerbi over other options, Calciomercato relays.
The Italian gaffer has done well in the Premier League since taking over Brighton after Chelsea poached Graham Potter. The Seagulls are in contention to qualify for Europa League. They are currently in sixth position on par with Brentford.
Even though De Zerbi has settled in nicely in England, he might leave if Inter or another top Italian team comes calling. The Nerazzurri already tried to put him under contract when Antonio Conte left abruptly. However, he had already committed to Shakhtar Donetsk back then.
After leaving Ukraine due to the war, the manager signed a contract till 2026 with Brighton, which envisages a €13M release clause. The Nerazzurri would eventually face competition. Tottenham are considering him to replace Conte. Roma would be keen if José Mourinho didn’t stay. He previously worked with La Beneamata’s deputy sporting director Dario Baccin at Palermo in 2016.
Our Take on Inter and De Zerbi
He’d obviously be a great choice. While the Nerazzurri have some allure, they are also severely hampered on the transfer market, which would obstruct the massive retool they’d need to make the roster fit his tactics. It’s implausible they’d pay that much for a coach too. While competing for Serie A has its appeal, there’s no reason for him to come back to the Peninsula anytime soon. He’s on a clear trajectory to take over a Premier League powerhouse in a year or two.
