Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi received the Bearzot Award for the best manager in Italian football.
This accolade is named after Enzo Bearzot, the legendary Italian manager who led the Azzurri towards World Cup glory in 1982 and is organized in collaboration with the FIGC.
Last season, it was current Italy manager Luciano Spalletti who received the honor. It was following his remarkable campaign at Napoli.
But in the edition, Inzaghi proved to be the rightful recipient.
The 47-year-old is enjoying a sensational campaign with Inter thus far. The club currently leads the Serie A charts, 15 points ahead of their closest chasers.
Inzaghi is on the cusp of securing the club’s 20th Scudetto title and subsequently the second Golden Star.
