Inzaghi and the missing Scudetto: will it be the right time?

The Inter coach is the only first tier manager to have not won a championship. And the Nerazzurri club is setting up a team for him equipped to dispel the taboo

Inter are the last to gather, but this year they will also have the “obligation” to arrive first. With a load of responsibility that Simone Inzaghi cannot, and certainly he also does not want to, escape. Yeah, because if you think about it, he’s basically the only one among his first-tier colleagues who hasn’t yet had a Scudetto on his bulletin board. Spalletti succeeded, and with the Italian flag virtually on his chest he preferred to leave. To make room for Garcia, who in any case won a title in France with Lille. But the Scudetto is above all the red thread that, as mentioned, unites all of Simone Inzaghi’s next competitors. Allegri has won many, Mourinho won it and in the famous year of the Treble, Sarri conquered it – and it was the last Juventus success – Stefano Pioli also put it in his curriculum vitae. Simone Inzaghi remains, to whom the club is once again delivering a top-level team. Yes, because even after Conte, even with the departures of Lukaku and Hakimi, Inter has nevertheless set up – starting with Dzeko and Dumfries – a team of absolute respect. The scudetto has not arrived, with Milan capable of placing the decisive sprint at the expense of their cousins, but there are many who believe that the nerazzurri should and could do much more. History repeated itself last summer too, because after Lukaku’s return, the arrivals of very important players like Mkhitaryan, many thought that – yes, this time – that would be the right time. Instead, Inter collected twelve defeats in the league, placing third even eighteen points behind Napoli and never really entering the race. Too little for a team that, on the contrary, did very well in the Champions League.
