New Inter Milan U23 Coach Sets Impressive Club Record Even Before The Season Starts
Inter Milan U23 coach Stefano Vecchi has etched his name into the club's history books by setting a new record. According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the 54-year-old has entered club folklore midway through the summer. Stefano Vecchi returned to Inter this month to take charge of the U23 squad. However, he is no stranger to the San Siro environment. Indeed, he was at the helm of Inter's youth teams in the past before embarking on a career in senior management. Inter Milan U23 Boss Stefano Vecchi Makes Club History Getty Images Highly-rated Vecchi became the first person to win the Primavera championship as a player and manager. While it was a remarkable feat, it's not the only impressive milestone achieved by the highly-rated coach. Indeed, the former Vicenza head coach is the first tactician to have managed multiple Inter sides across different levels. Therefore, his legacy within the club continues to grow even before the start of the highly expected 2025/26 season.

Hopefully, he will repay that trust once Inter U23's maiden season in Serie C gets underway next month.
