Inter Milan chief Marotta rejects Inzaghi doubts: He's doing an excellent job | OneFootball

Inter Milan chief Beppe Marotta insists there's no doubting coach Simone Inzaghi.

Inter suffered an opening Champions League defeat at Bayern Munich this week.

Marotta said, “We need some healthy realism, every defeat requires an analysis of the problems, that is part of the daily work of directors and coach, to bring out something positive for the future.

“We know the Premier League are now a superpower in football, while only a few clubs in the Liga and Bundesliga can afford to spend huge amounts on the transfer market to buy great champions. It's much more difficult to do that in Italy, but it mustn't represent an alibi. We lost to a stronger team last night.

“Inzaghi made courageous decisions to improve the individual and the collective. We need to know that Inter are always Inter, this is a club with a history and must always be competitive, no matter who is on the pitch.

“The coach is in charge of a group that right now is under the stress of a packed fixture list up to November 13. Inzaghi has a quality squad at his disposal and has to use it in the best way possible depending also on the opponent and what he sees in training.

“I think he is doing it very well, even if unfortunately there have been two defeats in the last two games."

He added, “That goes without saying, Inzaghi is doing an excellent job. We are Inter and, if we need to say one thing, it's that we require more focus and motivation from everyone, from the directors down to the players.

“We must honour this jersey. It's a pity for those fans who came to San Siro, because it is our duty to repay their faith in us. We must believe to the end, because the season has only just started and these errors can only give valuable lessons for the future."
