Inter coach Simone Inzaghi still undecided about future several hours before key meeting with Nerazzurri
As the Nerazzurri board are several hours away from meeting with the former Lazio coach to discuss his future as only one year remains on his contract following the investigating 5-0 defeat in the Champions League final, Simone Inzaghi still remains undecided regarding his future at Inter.
Sky Sports' Gianluca Di Marzio reports that despite the humiliating result and performance portrayed in Munich in which Luis Enrique tactically out-classed the Italian tactician, the board still hold firm on their position to be willing to continue with Inzaghi heading into next season.

However, Simone finds himself indecisive on whether he will part ways with the Milanese club following the meeting and put an end to his four-year era at Inter.
Whilst many clubs are monitoring the situation very carefully, Saudi Arabian giants Al Hilal seem to have made the most concrete contacts in recent weeks, as a two year contract with a salary of €25m per-season is on the table for 49-year-old coach.
With plenty of uncertainty surrounding Inzaghi's future at Inter, the board have begun exploring alternative options, having made contact with Cesc Fabregas of Como and Roberto De Zerbi of Marseille to take over at the helm in the event Inzaghi heads out the door.

No transfer bids for Emi Martinez as Aston Villa star speaks out
Aston Villa haven't received any formal contact regarding goalkeeper Emi Martinez, who has dominated the transfer headlines since the end of the season. The 32-year-old's future has come under scrutiny after he was seen in tears at the end of Villa's final home game of the season against Tottenham last month. Advertisement Martinez signed a long-term contract extension in August but has attracted interest from Atletico Madrid, other European clubs, and teams in Saudi Arabia. READ MORE: Nassef Sawiris agreement as expletive fired off in 'stupid' Man Utd transfer rant READ MORE: Manager warns that Aston Villa transfer target 'is not ready for the Premier League' He joined up with the Argentina national team over the weekend and remained coy about his future when asked. 'My future? I don't know,' he told the press. 'I'm here to play for the national team, and that's all I care about right now. Do I want to change clubs? The transfer market has just opened, so there's still a lot to happen.' Advertisement As it stands, no club has submitted a formal offer for Martinez. Meanwhile, Villa are not under a huge amount of pressure to generate significant funds through player sales this summer, thanks to the financial boost from their Champions League campaign. Unai Emery's side earned around £100 million after reaching the quarter-finals, where they were narrowly beaten 5–4 on aggregate by eventual champions Paris Saint-Germain. However, after failing to qualify for next season's Champions League, they won't have such revenue to call on in the 2026 summer window.

Deschamps banking on France depth against 'best in the world' Spain
Didier Deschamps says France have the depth to challenge Spain in the Nations League semi-final even with three defenders missing through injury (Franck FIFE) France coach Didier Deschamps said his injury-hit side had the quality to trouble defending Nations League champions Spain in Thursday's semi-final, with Germany or Portugal awaiting the winner in the title match on Sunday. France will face the Euro 2024 winners Spain in Stuttgart missing first-choice defenders William Saliba, Dayot Upamecano and Jules Kounde who have 100 international caps between them. Advertisement But Deschamps has a history of pragmatism in such matters, leading France to triumph at the 2018 World Cup, and to the final in 2022, after campaigns that were also hit by selection worries. Speaking to reporters in Stuttgart on Wednesday, the 56-year-old said he remained confident. "When it comes to a match against Spain, with their attacking potential, it's not ideal but I wouldn't say we are weakened," he said. "I'm counting on the guys who play on Thursday." In attack France will be looking to Kylian Mbappe and freshly-minted Champions League winners Desire Doue and Ousmane Dembele of Paris Saint-Germain. Advertisement Deschamps praised Dembele, saying the forward "deserves the Ballon d'Or" for his dazzling season with PSG. "Over an entire season, and with the one Ousmane is having, he deserves it and that's all I wish him." The coach said Dembele was ahead of Spain's teenage talent Lamine Yamal, but the pair will share the spotlight on Thursday. "The Nations League can provide some answers, as can the Club World Cup," said Deschamps. After Saturday's Champions League final, PSG coach Luis Enrique also backed Dembele for Ballon d'Or honours. Defender Ibrahima Konate joined the chorus on Wednesday. Advertisement "What Ousmane has done this season is simply incredible," said Konate. "Ousmane deserves the Ballon d'Or, period." The wave of injuries leaves Liverpool centre-back Konate as the likely leader of France's defence. "We are the French national team, and we have an exceptional talent pool," Konate said. He will be joined in defence by either Benjamin Pavard, Lucas Hernandez, Clement Lenglet or two debutants, Loic Bade and Pierre Kalulu. The winner take on either Germany or Portugal, who face off on Wednesday in Munich, in the final on Sunday. France won the Nations League in 2021, with Portugal winning in 2019 and Spain in 2023, while Germany are through to the semi-finals of the fledgling competition for the first time. eba-dwi/dmc/bsp
