After surviving the long dark night, Inter fans finally ushered in the dawn of their own hope!
First of all, after the Inter board of directors announced the half-year financial report for this season, fans were pleasantly surprised to see that the club began to make a profit, although it was not much, only 22.3 million euros, but it was a real turnaround.
Subsequently, according to a report reprinted by Sky Sports Italia, Inter Chairman Zhang Kangyang's refinancing plan has been agreed by Oaktree Capital, and at least for a period of time in the future, Inter will still be in the hands of the Suning young owner with blue and black feelings.
Now, "Milan Sport" has once again sent a big gift, according to their report, after the initial settlement of the debt problem, Inter president Zhang Kangyang has reopened the team's contract renewal negotiations, not only Lautaro and Barella such heavyweights, but also the team's coach Inzaghi Jr.
As one of the youngest coaches in Serie A, Inzaghi Jr., who is only 47 years old, has been in Meazza for more than two and a half years. To be sure, as a coach who has only won the Italian Cup and has not managed any big teams, the pressure of joining a big club like Inter for the first time can be imagined.
Less than two months into office, Inzaghi Jr. has faced difficulties, such as Lukaku, who is the team's main striker, can't wait to knock on the door of Inzaghi Jr., asking for a transfer to Chelsea, and because of financial difficulties, Moroccan star Achraf has also been transferred to Paris.
What is certain is that Inzaghi Jr.'s first season at Inter Milan was a difficult start, and even in order to maintain the normal operation of the team, in addition to difficult negotiations with the management, he also had to give in to some of the big players in the team and reach a certain degree of compromise.
Despite the difficulties of the first two seasons, Inzaghi led Inter to four trophies, two Coppa Italia and two Italian Super Cups.
What's more, after two seasons of running-in, Inzaghi Jr. has completely established himself in Inter. Last season, Inter finished in the top three of Serie A at the end of the season under Inzaghi Jr., and reached the final of the Champions League for the first time in 14 years. Although Inter Milan eventually lost 0-1 to Premier League giants Manchester City, the experience of that season brought full confidence to the entire Inter team and Inzaghi Jr.
In the summer of last year, in order to meet operational needs, the club sent away a number of main players such as Brozovic, Onana, and Dzeko, and at the same time signed Frattesi, Thuram Jr. and Pavard, and the team made 12 in and 12 out, and once again underwent a major change.
Fortunately, in his third season in charge of Inter, Inzaghi Jr. has also become more mature, and after a run-in in the pre-season, Inter Milan began to break through in the league under the leadership of the young manager, leading all the way, leaving Juventus and old rivals such as Juventus and AC Milan and Napoli far behind after 10 consecutive wins in Serie A.
Although he is still young after all, Inzaghi Jr. was still slightly conservative in the Champions League quarter-finals and eventually lost to the old Atletico Madrid coach Simeone. But the flaws are not hidden, Inter's main goal this season is to win the Serie A championship and embroider the "two stars", and Inzaghi Jr. is obviously infinitely close to completing the task.
What is certain is that after Inter chairman Zhang Kangyang has dealt with the debt problem of Oaktree Capital, he will try his best to keep almost all of Inter's main players for Inzaghi Jr., and sign more quality players to supplement them if funds allow.
It is worth mentioning that when Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp decided to leave at the end of the season, Inzaghi Jr. was once linked with the "Reds" by the media. To the touching of the Inter fans, his answer was: I'm not going anywhere!
"I'm very happy at Inter and I feel like I have a good relationship with the board and with the fans," he said. As for my contract, we will meet at the end of the season to discuss a renewal, our relationship is really good and the negotiations will go well. ”
Finally, Milan Sport analysis believes that after Inter Milan successfully won the Serie A title this season, Zhang Kangyang will give the meritorious coach a contract until the summer of 2027.
Prior to that, Inter had already managed to extend the contract of team director Marotta until 2027. This means that Inter's "iron triangle" Zhang Kangyang, Marotta and Inzaghi Jr. will continue to work together for the next three years, and Inter is expected to achieve a qualitative leap during this period.
