Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi continues to improve on all levels, thus becoming a thorn in the back for Juventus, explains a report in Italian media.
The 47-year-old returns from Riyadh after guiding his club to the first silverware of the season. He now lifted the Italian Super Cup in each of his three campaigns since signing for the Nerazzurri.
The former Lazio striker continues to cement himself as an expert in cup competitions.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport via FcInterNews, Inzaghi is showcasing an incredible ability in how he approaches cup fixtures, whether with his man-management or from a tactical standpoint.
In the Super Cup final against Napoli, he introduced Alexis Sanchez as an attacking midfielder while switching to a 4-3-1-2 formation.
The move paid dividends, with the Chielean playing an integral role in unlocking Walter Mazzarri’s defenses and ending the resistance of the 10-man Partenopei, with Lautaro Martinez snatching a last-gasp winner.

The pink newspaper claims that Inzaghi’s leap in quality is causing distress in Turin. Juventus feel that the ever-improving Inter manager will be an added value for the Nerazzurri cause in the razor-tight Scudetto race.
While his Bianconeri counterpart Max Allegri has been embroiled in the back-and-forth media skirmishes between the two clubs, Inzaghi has been keen to avoid all controversy, preferring to remain on the sidelines.
The manager is now preparing his men for Sunday’s all-important Serie A clash against Fiorentina.
Inter will be looking to mark their return to Italian soil with a vital win before hosting Juventus the following weekend in an absolutely crucial showdown between the two Scudetto challengers.
