Whilst attending the Facchetti award ceremony, Inter’s Marco Fassone had some important words ahead of January’s mercato…
In this era of Financial Fair Play, how big an effect does changing coaches halfway through a season have?
“It undoubtedly has an effect, but this is a decision we deliberated over at length, taking into consideration the economic side of things too. I hope we can overcome any financial effect within the year, as I’m sure that Mazzarri will have found a new club by the start of next season, given how good a manager he is. This year, thanks to the savings we’ve made, we had some leeway in the budget and we decided that the best use for this was to invest in a coach like Mancini.”

It will indeed be interesting to see if Mazzarri gets a new job next summer.
Considering the fashion in which he left Inter, I doubt there will be a better job out there waiting for him (that is unless Benitez leaves Napoli and Walter is called back, which has a slim chance of happening).
If he gets offers, it will most likely be from lower class teams, and they won’t offer him the money that he’s currently getting from Inter.
But lets hope mazzarri get a new job ASAP, it will be great relieve for the balance sheet. And benitez is surely wont be in napoli next season.
Of course, I hope he gets a job too, for our sake as well as for his own. I think that we should move on from all the hatred and ridicule directed at him as soon as possible, it’s not healthy to think that he alone was to blame (not saying he was good, just putting things into perspective). I’m sure Mancini too will run into unexpected problems.
I read that italian media are speculating if Mazzarri will quit football all together once his contract Inter pays him expires..
I would be genuinely sorry for him if that happened. The guy didn’t fit in here, but he sure as hell doesn’t deserve to be ridiculed across the entire fan community. We’re taking it a bit too far…
He’s only 53 so don’t see why he would retire, but maybe losing was not an option for him.
