Simone Inzaghi Declares: “Coaching Inter Milan & Lazio Fantastic – But The Most Important Thing Is Staying Hungry’ | OneFootball

Simone Inzaghi says that “staying hungry is the most important thing” amid his successful journey with Inter Milan and Lazio.

Writing in the preface to the book “Il Piccolo Maracana,” via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri coach reflected on his path to the top.

Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi has guided the Nerazzurri to their second Champions League final in just three years.

Meanwhile, the 49-year-old also coached Inter to the Serie A title last season. That is one of six pieces of domestic silverware they’ve won since his arrival in 2021.

There have certainly been ups and downs for Inzaghi at Inter.

However, the overall trend for the coach at the San Siro has been a positive one.

Meanwhile, Inzaghi also enjoyed a very positive stint in charge of Lazio, where he was a former player and then a coach of the senior first team for more than half a decade.

Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi reflected that “Coaching and winning with Inter is simply fantastic.”

“Just as it was with Lazio.”

“But even more important is to stay hungry,” reflected the Inter coach. “The possibility to always feed that sacred fire, which will never go out.”

Meanwhile, Inzaghi also reflected that “I’ve never forgotten where I come from.”

“I’ve always tried to elevate the values of the province [of Piacenza],” he continued. “Which knows how to express rivalry, but also solidarity and a sense of belonging.”

“The desire to stand out,” Inzaghi explained. “Which exalts the value of the family, and then adds it to being competitive.”

“Always in the same way,” the Inter coach reflected. “Without holding back, But within the framework of correctness and loyalty.”
