Inter Milan Seeks Replacement for Inzaghi, Eyeing Fabregas as Top Candidate
Departure of Simstart Inzaghi
Inter Milan has officially entered a new chapter following the departure of head coach Simstart Inzaghi, who left the club by mutual consent after four seasons. This decision came just three days after a disappointing 5-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League final. The news of Inzaghi’s exit was confirmed on Tuesday after a meeting with club management.
Potential Successor: Cesc Fabregas
As Inter looks to the future, all eyes are on Cesc Fabregas, currently the head coach of Como, as the leading candidate to take over the helm. Reports from Italy indicate that the club has already initiated formal discussions with Fabregas, who has gained significant attention for his coaching abilities.
Fabregas, a former captain of the Spanish national team and a star with Arsenal, Barcelona, and Chelsea, has impressed since moving into coaching. He has previously turned down offers from clubs such as Bayer Leverkusen and AS Roma, which underscores the appeal of Inter’s proposition.
Inzaghi’s Next Move
Following his departure from Inter, Inzaghi is set to join Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia, where he is expected to sign a lucrative two-year contract worth approximately €26 million per season. He is poised to manage the team in their opening match of the FIFA Club World Cup against Real Madrid on June 18.
Time-sensitive Decision for Inter
With the FIFA Club World Cup also on the horizon for Inter, the club is in urgent need of a capable manager to lead them throughout the tournament. As the situation develops, Fabregas has yet to give a definitive answer regarding his future, having previously committed to Como, which invested notably in his career progression.
The parties are reportedly scheduled to meet again soon to discuss a potential resolution. In the event that Fabregas declines the opportunity, Inter has other candidates lined up, including Roberto De Zerbi, Patrick Vieira, and Cristian Kivu. However, Fabregas remains the club’s primary focus and the decision now rests with him.
As Inter Milan navigates this transition, fans and stakeholders alike are keenly awaiting the outcome of these discussions
