Piero Ausilio describes not signing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia as his “biggest regret” as Sporting Director of Inter Milan.
Speaking to Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews, Ausilio also named Matteo Kovacic and Marcelo Brozovic as the signings he is “proudest” of.
Piero Ausilio has had a long journey as Sporting Director of Inter Milan.
And during that time, it would be fair to say that there have been many ups and downs.
The last few years have seen Ausilio form a formidable partnership with Nerazzurri President and CEO Beppe Marotta. The pair have been the architects of Inter’s successful transfer strategy.
Inter have pulled off no shortage of successful transfer deals during that time. All largely operating within tight financial constraints.
That does not mean, however, that the Nerazzurri have never missed out or failed to take advantage of opportunities in the transfer market.
Ausilio: “Not Signing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia My Biggest Regret” At Inter
Asked his biggest regret of his time at Inter, Ausilio named “not signing Kvaratskhelia.”
“But I’m not the only one who made that mistake,” the veteran executive noted.
“He was offered to a lot of big clubs in Italy.”
“It’s just that we played with a 3-5-2 shape,” Ausilio noted. “And he’s a player for a 4-3-3, so that’s why we didn’t sign him.”
Meanwhile, Ausilio named “Kovacic and Brozovic” as the deals he’s proudest of.
“And then Onana. We signed him on a free transfer and sold him for €55 million a year later.”
I don’t know why Ausilio is still at Inter he knows nothing about player transfers Oaktree should sack him we don’t need him at Inter
This guy is the reason why inter is struggling and has been struggling in the past 2 decades. Him and marco branca and he’s still has a job at inter makes me go insane.
I still don’t understand how Inter can give a guy like Ausilio so much power and still trust him so much. After over a decade in charge, Inter won only 2 Scudettos, and it was probabbly because Marotta came in.
Ausilio should have left a long time ago!
Also a mistake is selling hakimi.
I think when it comes to selling player Inter really struggle.
I don’t rate this guy. He also sold Coutinho and Kovacic who would have been a star for us. Also if you are repeating these kinds mistakes, it just means that’s your level.
I disagree. I think he is top, also he doesn’t act on his own, most of the decisions come from management. I remember him saying he was proud of coutinho and letting him go was one of the hardest decisions.
