Simone Inzaghi is on thin ice due to the disappointing results of his side in Serie A. Inter are reportedly already gathering intel on his possible replacement in the dugout. The manager himself might decide to pull the plug on his own rather than wait for the ax, Corriere dello Sport informs (via Tuttomercatoweb).
The gaffer is displeased with the evident lack of trust from the front office. He believes that the abundant criticism toward him is unfair. Moreover, he doesn’t think he’s the sole responsible for their poor showings. If things don’t change, he’ll seriously consider stepping down, especially should they achieve something meaningful in the remainder of the season. That would allow him to leave on a high note.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Sergio Conceiçao is on Inter’s shortlist for the bench, along with Antonio Conte, Thiago Motta, and Roberto De Zerbi. Inzaghi was even quizzed about it during the presser ahead of the first leg versus Benfica. Porto just defeated their next opponents.
“You hear a lot of rumors. Both he and Roger Schmidt were excellent players. It was a pleasure to face him.”
Our Take on Inzaghi and Inter
Giuseppe Marotta has his tentacles all over the media, so the gaffer might perceive any rumor about his dismissal or other options as slights orchestrated by the director to undermine him, even when that’s only partially the case. Things seem to be headed toward a mutual partying of the ways, with neither the boss nor the club particularly unhappy with the outcome.
