After 33 years at the club in different roles, Roberto Samaden will leave Inter at the end of the season. He recently met with the brass and informed them he wouldn’t renew his expiring contract, Corriere della Sera informs.
The exec has been the head of the academy since 2010. His work has contributed to 16 titles and 22 final appearances for the various teams he oversaw. He’s the most successful official at the youth level in the history of Italian football.
Samaden has unearthed a host of players that eventually made it to the Inter squad or Serie A in general, such as Federico Dimarco, Cristiano Biraghi, Federico Bonazzoli, Andrea Pinamonti, Marco Davide Faraoni, Cesare Casadei, Willy Gnonto, and Salvatore Esposito. Giovanni Fabbian and the Carboni brothers are next in line. La Beneamata might lean on prospects more in the future given their struggling finances.
According to Calciomercato, he will depart because his budget has been meager in recent seasons. The Chinese ownership tightened the belt on spending in general. He started collaborating with the FIGC, the Italian Football Association, in 2010. He has been the coordinator of their youth development program since 2019.
Per Sportitalia, Samaden might end up at Cremonese after the end of his Inter spell. He would serve as the sporting director for the first team for the Grigiorossi. Instead, the Nerazzurri will likely promote from within and elevate his deputy Giuseppe Giavardi, La Gazzetta dello Sport relays. Piero Ausilio’s right-hand man Dario Baccin is also very involved in these matters.
