Steven Zhang will have reassuring words for Simone Inzaghi when the pair meet at Appiano Gentile today, according to a report in the Italian media.
Inter confirmed Inzaghi’s appointment as their new head coach on a two-year deal earlier, replacing Antonio Conte who left by mutual consent last week.
Gazzetta dello Sport’s print edition said Inzaghi would visit Inter’s training complex and get the chance to meet club president Zhang for the first time.
Zhang will give Inzaghi a clear message and tell him Inter are not downsizing their project, ensuring the squad remains as strong as fans expect for next season.
Inter will find it difficult to secure a second star for a 20th Serie A title next season, the Milan-based paper admitted, but it is certainly not an impossible mission.
The Nerazzurri are on the verge of selling Achraf Hakimi to address their financial problems, but they do not intend to make any other big sacrifices in the transfer window.
