Simone Inzaghi candidly admitted that he had the chance to go to the Premier League in the past in the presser before facing Arsenal. The opportunity will continue to be there for him in the future. It’ll be up to Inter to convince him to stay, Calciomercato informs.
“I’m fascinated by English football, and I think that goes for any coach. I don’t deny that there was this possibility, not only while I was here, but also during my time at Lazio. However, I’m fine where I am right now. I’m intrigued by it, but I’m in one of the best teams in Europe. Then, there’s no certainty about the future.”
Inzaghi has already had a relatively long spell on the Nerazzurri bench considering that only 8 coaches have lasted more than 3 seasons in their 116-year history. He accepted the job in a dire time for the team, taking over after Antonio Conte asked to leave due to a financial crunch.
Tottenham and West Ham pursued him when he was at Lazio, while Manchester United did it more recently. He renewed his contract not too long ago, but it wasn’t a multi-year extension. He and the brass will have to sit down again at the end of the campaign. He’ll have to choose whether to commit again or not.
Proceeding with short-term renewals the last couple of times was questionable, as he had already proven his worth. It exposes them to courtships from other teams. He’s gone through way rougher patches compared to their present state, so his call will come down to motivations, goals, and comfort level.
