Inter Milan Coach To Attend ‘Golden Bench’ Ceremony – Atalanta Counterpart Favorite To Win | OneFootball

Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi trails Atalanta boss Gian Piero Gasperini in the ‘Golden Bench’ race.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, he will attend the ceremony at the auditorium of the Federal Technical Center.

Despite inspiring Inter to a landmark 20th Serie A title last term, Simone Inzaghi isn’t the leading candidate to win the award.

That’s a bit odd, considering the Nerazzurri had dominated the league and won the Italian Super Cup.

However, Atalanta’s remarkable Europa League triumph seems to be a difference-maker.

Helping Atalanta to their first continental title makes Gian Piero Gasperini the favorite to claim the price.

Indeed, Inzaghi would’ve probably strolled to the podium, only for La Dea’s European success to change the dialogue.

But it would be a small consolation for Gasperini as Inter thrashed his team in all three meetings this season.

A 2-0 win on the stroke of the international break extended Inter’s lead on Atalanta to six points in Serie A.

Therefore, the decision makes little sense.
