Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi is attracting a lot of interest across Europe, and the Italian is on the radar of Barcelona and three Premier League clubs.
Inzaghi has done an impressive job at Inter since being named Antonio Conte’s replacement in 2021. In his first season in charge, Inter won the Italian Super Cup and Coppa Italia, but twice finished off eventual Serie A champions AC Milan.
Last season, Inter finished third, Napoli and Lazio, but they reached the Champions League final, where they were narrowly beaten by Manchester City. However, Inter are currently the best in the league this season and are nine points behind their rivals with a game in hand.
And according to a report by Italian outlet Tuttosport, Inzaghi’s performance at Inter has caught the attention of Barcelona, Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea. Xavi and Jurgen Klopp have announced that they will step down as coaches of Barcelona and Liverpool at the end of the season. .
Meanwhile, United and Chelsea could also be looking for a new manager, with Erik ten Hag and Mauricio Pochettino under pressure. The report states that Inzaghi is “appreciated because he has a new and new symbol and for his corporate attitude. “
It’s also worth noting that his current contract expires in 2025 and while Inzaghi would be happy to stay at Inter, they wouldn’t fit into the salary a Premier League club could offer him.
United’s new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who has dealt entirely with the sporting side of the business, has so far refused to give a public vote of confidence to Ten Hag and the Dutchman could be replaced if he fails to qualify for the Champions League. .
However, Ten Hag insisted he did not want Ratcliffe’s public support. “I’m here, I have a contract for three seasons, so I don’t care,” he said. “I’m in this process, I’m just focused on the process, so I don’t care what’s going on around me.
“I have had many conversations with Sir Jim Ratcliffe, as well as with Sir Dave Brailsford and other members of this group. So I know what we’re talking about and I have a strong conviction and I feel like they’re in me. But I’m pas. me focusing on my non-public situation.
“I’m just focusing on the team and I have to find answers for this team to perform in the most productive way imaginable. It’s about focusing on that and not getting distracted by the noise or anything. I know what I’m doing. “
