Inzaghi turns 52 in August and had already earned promotion from Serie B with Benevento in 2020.
As for Pisa, they are back in Serie A after an absence of 34 years and the candidates to take over next season include Alberto Gilardino.
Curiously, newly-promoted Cremonese are also currently without a coach.
