Gianpiero Marini was the coach of Inter in 1993/94, a season in which Inter were extremely close to being relegated to Serie B for the first time, but still managed to win the UEFA Cup. In an interview with tuttomercatoweb.com, the former Inter coach Giampiero Marini talked about Inter’s situation and drew a parallel between his experience and Andrea Stramaccioni’s: “Stramaccioni’s work can’t be assessed. To be without striker throughout this period is too much, not to mention the others who are absent. How can you make an assessment? Moreover, they are regular players and the fact that they are regulars means they are better than the reserves. Even against Roma there were too many absent. I can say from experience that I’ve gone through the same situation as Stramaccioni at Inter’s coaching bench. I always had 7-8 injured and you can say it how you want too but it’s still a disadvantage. As soon as I got someone back we won the UEFA Cup. Wherefore I say that it’s childish to blame Stramaccioni , it is far too easy to do.”
