Inter Milan Manager Maintaining Feel-Good Factor Ahead Of Champions League Final: “Proud To Be The Coach Of These Guys” | OneFootball

Simone Inzaghi remains fully committed to Inter Milan ahead of Saturday’s Champions League final amid intense exit talks.

During his latest interview with InterTV via FCInterNews, the Scudetto-winning boss admitted he’s ‘proud’ to coach this team.

It’s been a rollercoaster season for the Nerazzurri.

Unfortunately, they’ve gone from a treble quest to the precipice of a first trophyless season under Simone Inzaghi.

However, they can avoid that unwanted feat this weekend when they take on Paris Saint-Germain in Munich.

European glory is on the line as the 20-time Serie A champions bid to bounce back from a Scudetto defeat.

Meanwhile, it could be Inzaghi’s last game in charge, with Al-Hilal intensifying their pursuit of the former Lazio boss.

Though a switch to Saudi Arabia is a genuine possibility, Inzaghi is unwilling to let it distract him from the goal.

Indeed, he’ll try to bring the famous ‘Big Ears’ back to San Siro in his second Champions League final in three years.

“It’s been a four-year journey during which the team has achieved great things,” Inzaghi claimed. “We’ve won and lost.

“However, we’ve always given everything on the pitch, and the fans have understood the players’ deep sense of belonging to the Inter shirt.

“There are always tough moments in football, but the team has always responded in the best possible way.

“I’m proud to be the coach of these players,” Inzaghi was adamant.

Then, he discussed what he and Inter must do to best prepare for the Munich showdown.

“They absolutely have to stay calm and prepare well—it’ll be a slow build-up,” he added.

“They’re experienced players, they’ve already played in and won finals.

“I’ll try to prepare the match as best as I can, and on Saturday, we’ll try to deliver a great performance against a top-quality opponent.”

Finally, he thanked Inter Milan fans for their unconditional support these four years.

“I can only say thank you for the connection that’s developed between us and our supporters.

“It’s also thanks to them that we overcame difficult moments, and I’ll always be grateful for that.

“We’ll try to approach Saturday in the best way possible, knowing we can always count on them.”
