Simone Inzaghi To Sign Inter Milan Contract Extension After Return From Japan Preseason Tour

Simone Inzaghi will extend his contract with Inter Milan after the team return from their preseason tour of Japan.

This according to Italian broadcaster SportMediaset, via FCInterNews, who report that the Nerazzurri boss’s new deal should arrive not long after the team’s preseason tour is done with, and before their season kicks off.

As of yet, Inzaghi has not extended his deal beyond the end of next June.

As things stand, the 47-year-old former Lazio coach is out of contract is out of contract at the end of the season.

However, Mediaset report, Inter do not intend for this to be the case for much longer.

The club want to wrap things up on a new one-year extension for the coach very soon. There is a particular timeline in mind, in fact.

At the moment, Inter are in Japan where they’re on their preseason tour. The team are continuing their work training for the upcoming campaign, and will also play friendly matches against Al-Nassr and Paris Saint-Germain.

Inter aren’t going to make Inzaghi’s extension official right now. But once the team return to Italy next week, the coach should put pen to paper.

Simone Inzaghi To Extend Inter Milan Contract Soon

Towards the end of last season, Inzaghi provided a convincing response to his critics as Inter coach.

The 47-year-old guided the Nerazzurri to the Champions League final. In addition, he also helped the team pick up the Coppa Italia and the Supercoppa Italiana for the second time in as many seasons as Inter coach.

Therefore, it has always looked likely that the former Lazio coach would sign a new deal. Or, at the very least, that the club would offer him one.

However, as of yet, Inzaghi has not put pen to paper on a new contract.

As things stand, the coach’s deal runs out at the end of next June.

Considering that Nerazzurri CEO Beppe Marotta has a well-known policy against heading into a season with a coach in such a situation, this has come as a surprise to some.

But in fact, there is little doubt behind the scenes that Inzaghi will extend his deal soon.

Mediaset anticipate that it will not be long after the team return from Japan at the start of next month.
