Inter Milan owners Oaktree see Simone Inzaghi as the best man for the job despite the risk of a first trophyless season since 2019/20.
Per La Repubblica via FCInterNews, the American fund has deemed the campaign ‘excellent,’ largely thanks to a substantial income.
Simone Inzaghi had dreamt of becoming the first Nerazzurri boss since Jose Mourinho to win a coveted treble.
However, those ambitions fell apart in April when AC Milan dumped Inter out of the Coppa Italia semi-finals.
Napoli would then leapfrog Inzaghi’s charges at Serie A’s table summit.
Therefore, the reigning Scudetto holders could miss out on all three domestic trophies this term.
Yet, the board trusts Inzaghi and will keep him at the steering wheel beyond the summer.
Inter Milan Owners Oaktree Happy with Simone Inzaghi
Inter will finish this Serie A season in the top two and could still pip Napoli to the title on the final day.
Meanwhile, they’ll contest their second Champions League final in three years after overcoming Barcelona in the semi-final.
Finally, the Italian giants have booked a place in the summer’s FIFA Club World Cup.
Inter’s international achievements have significantly bolstered the club’s finances, pouring around €250 million into their coffers.
As it turns out, Oaktree appreciates this financial aspect more than anything.
Therefore, they’ll stick with Inzaghi.
Do they have a choice? I mean Conte will go to Rube and Klopp to Roma. They have no choice but to keep Inzaghi after all he did bring them lots of money and less trophy but Football/soccer is a business not just sports.
The only way for Inter to become a financial giant is to ompete in the late stages of the UCL every season, i.e. at least the quarter finals every season.
