Beppe Marotta gave Luciano Spalletti the vote of confidence in an official public statement yesterday. The goal of Inter has and will always be to qualify for the Champions League and the Europa League offers Spalletti the chance to prove himself capable of taking Inter to the next step, after they were knocked out of the Coppa prematurely.
Gazzetta dello Sport report that Inter management expect a sharp turn in form starting with the Parma game and are confident that it will not be necessary to change coaches mid season. The rumours linking Fabio Capello to Inter, from his time at Jiangsu are completely false, according to Gazzetta, but they insist that Esteban Cambiasso would take over from Spalletti if Inter’s hand was forced to sack him now.
In short, Spalletti will remain until the end of the season. This fact was also greatly expressed to the players by Spalletti and Marotta who have demanded an immediate reaction, given that the Nerazzurri are four points worse off than last season: “One of the critical aspects of coaching this group is developing their mentality. They need to make winning their culture. They need a sense of belonging and continuity. It is a young group of players and this is what they are still yet to understand. They need to sacrifice now more than ever.”
