Juventus and AC Milan are unwilling to swap the date of their Coppa Italia semi final second leg to allow Inter and Napoli to play out their second leg earlier according to a report in today’s print edition of Italian daily newspaper Corriere dello Sport.
Juventus and AC Milan are set to face off on June 13 and Inter and Napoli are set to play the following day although it is understood that the Lega would like the government to allow the first of the semi-finals to take place on June 12 instead.
The Coppa Italia final is currently scheduled for June 17 and Inter were hoping to get to play earlier given they are the only one of the four sides in action on June 20 when the 2019/20 Serie A season resumes.
Inter chief executive Giuseppe ‘Beppe’ Marotta had requested the postponement of the final until August 2nd but his request was thrown out.
The report goes on to explain that neither Juventus nor AC Milan wish to change the date of their match as they do not wish to do their rivals, Inter, a favour.
The dates for the Coppa Italia semi finals and final will be definitely decided this coming Friday.
