The renewal of Spalletti is thought to be not far away from completion. The two major Italian Sports newspapers, Gazzetta dello Sport and Corriere dello Sport, both agree that Inter will move forward with the Tuscan technician.
After the post-match celebrations in Rome, Spalletti refused to speak to the media but a press conference is scheduled for tomorrow.
In short, the announcement is imminent. Spalletti had convinced everyone with his work, regardless of getting Champions League.
“Once the celebrations are over, planning for the next season will begin. Spalletti will make an appeal to Management for a clear understanding of their objectives for next season”, as understood by CorSport.
This is not only key for the coach but also the fans who supported Inter unquestionably through the campaign, once again achieving the highest average attendances. This season it was reasonable to expect the aim to be qualifying for the Champions League, given the weakness of the Club in recent history. However, if the next objective is to win or at least go head-to-head for the Scudetto, Suning must provide the coach with more high quality players. The 23 point mountain to Juventus is realistically unreachable with the current squad.
It is not impossible to reach Antonello’s own objective (“We have a project to build a competitive team in Italy and Europe over the years, the Champions League is an accelerator and why not, next year we could even think about the Championship”) but to succeed, as explained above, there is the need to build a high class squad within the limits of the settlement agreement.
