On the Eve of the Big Match
All of Italy Behind Inzaghi: The European Master!
Simone Inzaghi’s brilliant performance on Inter’s bench has convinced everyone in Italian football to believe in him.
According to reports, Inter Milan will host Bayern Munich in a highly anticipated UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg at San Siro on Wednesday night. The team hopes to maintain the advantage gained in the first leg and advance to the next stage.
“The European Master” is the title given to Simone Inzaghi in today’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport. The coach has dominated Inter in recent years, convincing both fans and the club of his capabilities.
The latest spark, which had been missing, came against Bayern. In fact, Inter fans had long dreamed of a big night in the Champions League knockout stages, perhaps against a strong contender like Bayern Munich. Inzaghi delivered exactly what the people wanted—even winning over the last doubters at the Allianz Arena.
Now, the extension of his contract, currently valid until 2026, is seen as a mere formality. The club is working on a longer-term vision: not just 2027, but a significant option until 2028 with salary adjustments. If he stays at Inter until the end, he will sit on a bench that by then will resemble a throne—for seven seasons.
