Press Conference Cancelled
Simone Inzaghi’s Unexpected Decision for Coppa Italia Derby Return
Simone Inzaghi was scheduled to attend today’s press conference ahead of the crucial match against AC Milan in the Coppa Italia, but he will not be present in front of the media.
Inter Milan’s head coach will not attend the pre-match press conference ahead of the Milan derby.
Tomorrow, Wednesday at 9 PM local time at San Siro Stadium, the second leg of the Coppa Italia semifinal will take place. The two teams face each other after a 1-1 draw in the first leg, where Tammy Abraham scored for AC Milan and Hakan Çalhanoğlu for Inter.
Unlike the derby three weeks ago, Inzaghi will not participate in the pre-match press conference this time. This news has been confirmed by La Gazzetta dello Sport. The reason for this decision? To honor the passing of Pope Francis. Meanwhile, AC Milan’s coach Stefano Pioli will attend the press conference as scheduled.
Many expected Inzaghi to attend the press conference given the importance of tomorrow’s match and Inter’s recent defeat against Bologna, but the Nerazzurri coach had other plans.
Initially, there were also rumors about the cancellation of the derby due to the Pope’s passing, which were later denied. The postponed Serie A matches from last night will also take place tonight.
