Inter President Confirms Inzaghi as Key Part of Long-Term Plan

Inter Milan president Beppe Marotta has shown full support for head coach Simone Inzaghi. He called the coach very important to the team’s future and praised his work.

STRONG SUPPORT

Today, Marotta said he completely trusts Inzaghi’s skills. He described him as “a key part of our long-term plan.” Marotta had high words for the 49-year-old coach, saying “he’s been great again, and he deserves all the praise.” This public support comes as Inter plans to offer a new contract to Inzaghi, who has helped the club improve a lot since he joined in 2021.

CONTRACT TO BE RENEWED SOON

Inzaghi’s current contract with Inter lasts until 2026, but they are talking about an extension. Recently, it seems a new deal is just a formality. It might extend until 2027 or 2028, with a big salary increase. Inzaghi makes €6.5 million a year now, but he could earn €7 million yearly, or even reach €10 million, making him Serie A’s highest-paid coach.

BIG IMPROVEMENT

Inzaghi didn’t have an easy start at Inter. He joined from Lazio in 2021 and had a tough time in 2023 when he seemed to be at risk of losing his job. Yet, he has made a big improvement, becoming a well-respected coach globally. Under him, Inter won many trophies in the last three seasons, including last season’s league title. Now, Inzaghi is seen as the key figure behind the team’s rise in both domestic and European competitions.

THE BIG PICTURE

Inter currently leads Serie A and plays in the Champions League, recently competing against Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals. Their support for Inzaghi shows they’re happy with his work, not just looking at this season’s trophy count. With over 200 games as coach, Inzaghi is already one of Inter’s longest-serving managers. Only three others have managed more matches.

ADDRESSING THE FUTURE

As the season nears its end, Inter stays focused on winning more trophies and ensuring their coaching stays strong. Even with reported interest from Saudi club Al-Hilal offering a big deal, Inzaghi is committed to the Inter project. A formal announcement of his new contract is likely soon, with Marotta’s words the clearest signal that Inzaghi is still vital to Inter’s ambitious goals in both domestic and European scenes.
