Inter Milan President Cautions ‘No Cause For Alarm' Despite Inzaghi's Comments On Future After PSG Loss
Inter Milan President Cautions 'No Cause For Alarm' Despite Inzaghi's Comments On Future After PSG Loss Beppe Marotta says that there is 'no cause for alarm' regarding the future of Simone Inzaghi at Inter Milan despite comments after the Champions League final. The Nerazzurri President spoke in the mixed zone after the 5-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain, via FCInter1908. Advertisement Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi made comments about his future that were far from reassuring after today's Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain. The 49-year-old said that he 'doesn't know' whether he will be coach of Inter for the Club World Cup. This naturally only served to fuel the rumours about Inzaghi's future. The former Lazio coach has been at Inter for four years now. And there is a certain feeling that he may have come to the end of his cycle – particularly after a result like this evening's. Meanwhile, Inzaghi has also reportedly received a massive money offer from Al-Hilal.

'He made some remarks,' said the President of Inzaghi's words. Advertisement 'We'll meet with him and hear what he has to say.' But Marotta made clear that 'we're very proud to continue on with him.' 'His response means nothing,' the Nerazzurri President insisted. 'We'll listen to him, there's no cause for alarm.' Meanwhile, Marotta said that the loss to PSG this evening 'will not affect' Inter's decision about Inzaghi. 'Not only does he have a contract which we've decided to meet with him this week about, he also deserves credit for this team's positive cycle.' 'If he wants and intends to continue we're absolutely happy to.' 'The future is a continuation of a winning cycle of this team,' said Marotta. 'We're meeting with the coach simply because we don't want to have a coach on an expiring contract. Marotta made clear that 'we'd like to continue on with him by extending his contract.' 'This cycle has worked very well, with exceptional results. There doesn't have to be a revolution.'

Inter Milan President Says Oaktree Capital: ‘Didn't Expect These Kinds Of Results' Ahead Of Champions League Final Vs PSG
Inter Milan President Says Oaktree Capital: 'Didn't Expect These Kinds Of Results' Ahead Of Champions League Final Vs PSG Beppe Marotta says that Oaktree Capital 'didn't expect these kinds of results' at Inter Milan ahead of the Champions League final against PSG. The Nerazzurri President spoke to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews, ahead of the match. Advertisement Inter Milan are in the Champions League final just over a year after Oaktree Capital took over the club. The North American fund arrived last May. They took over from Suning after the Chinese company had defaulted on a large loan. In a certain sense, it's not surprising that Inter are here. The Nerazzurri were in the Champions League final already just two years ago. Moreover, last season Inter managed to win the Serie A title in absolutely emphatic fashion. And last summer, they kept that squad intact. Therefore, there were no doubts that this Inter are a strong team. However, at the same time, Inter simply do not have the financial resources that other teams in Europe's elite do. Even if the picture has improved in recent years, and they have changed ownership.

(Photo by Guido) Inter President Beppe Marotta said of the club's owners Oaktree Capital that 'I'm not going to say they're surprised.' Advertisement 'But they didn't expect these kinds of results. And they're very happy.' Marotta noted that Oaktree's representatives 'are all here today.' 'We're happy to repay their trust in us,' he added. 'Their presence is silent. But constant and reassuring. They don't bother us.' Marotta then noted that 'the operations behind the scenes have remained unchanged' under Oaktree's ownership. 'And we've all managed to reach this goal together. We've made everyone and the fans happy.' Meanwhile, Marotta admitted that it's 'an extraordinary feeling' for Inter to be in the Champions League this evening. 'This is the most important event of the year,' he said. Advertisement 'So it's normal that the fans are heavily involved.' Then, Marotta noted that 'this team is made up of seven elevenths of the players who started in Istanbul,' referring to Inter's last Champions League final. 'They've gained experience by competing against the biggest teams in Europe.' 'This means that their awareness of what it means to be here and their professionalism have grown to face opponents at the European level,' the Inter President continued. 'I've seen a big change,' he said. 'So today, the performances will be very positive.' 'Then we're facing a great team. So will see what the pitch says.'

Inter Milan President Confirms: 'The Model Is Different Under Oaktree – Focus On Investing In Young Players' Nerazzurri President Beppe Marotta has confirmed that Inter Milan intend to focus more on investing in young players under Simone Inzaghi. The Inter President explained how the model has changed while speaking to The Athletic, via FCInterNews. Advertisement It is now a little over a year ago since Oaktree Capital took over as Inter Milan owners. The North American fund arrived after previous owners Suning defaulted on a large loan.

The thinking has clearly been that if it isn't broke, don't fix it. The naming of Beppe Marotta as club President was one of the clearest signs of Oaktree's ideas at Inter. However, sooner or later, the Nerazzurri owners will have to make decisions about the future. Inter's squad is rapidly aging. That is a consequence of the fact that over the last several years, the club have built around veteran players. Advertisement Therefore, this summer – and the next few transfer windows after – will have to see Inter bolster their squad with a different profile of player. Inter have already completed deals for Petar Sucic and – soon – Luis Henrique. Meanwhile, reports have linked Inter with young players like Ange-Yoan Bonny and Koni De Winter. Meanwhile, by all accounts Inter's dream signing this summer would be 20-year-old Como midfielder Nico Paz.

'And they've created a different model, to implement next season.' Advertisement 'We'll invest in slightly younger profiles,' detailed the Nerazzurri President detailed. 'They represent a real resource for us. Players with potential, who can be a resource for both the present and the future.' Meanwhile, Marotta also gave his thoughts on Inter coach Simone Inzaghi. The 49-year-old has guided the Nerazzurri to their second Champions League final in just three years. 'He's a good coach,' said the Inter President. 'He finds the right motivation for the team. He doesn't create excessive tension.' 'The team plays a modern style of football,' Marotta went on. 'They try to score more goals, rather than just defending.' 'This is a style of football that the fans appreciate, and find entertaining to watch,' the Inter President added.

Inter Milan President Planning Ambitious Transfer Window To Convince Simone Inzaghi To Stay
Inter Milan President Planning Ambitious Transfer Window To Convince Simone Inzaghi To Stay Beppe Marotta is willing to go to great lengths to convince Simone Inzaghi to pledge his future to Inter Milan amid intense exit talks. Per Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri president has outlined an ambitious summer project. Advertisement It began as a media rumor, yet it's starting to pick up a head of steam. Simone Inzaghi could leave San Siro after four years as Saudi giants Al-Hilal aim to sign him after the Champions League final. Indeed, a monstrous €60 million offer for a two-year contract is on the table. Therefore, Inzaghi has a choice to make.

(Photo by) Inzaghi's contract runs out in 2026, but the Italians are keen to tie the 49-year-old down to a new multi-year deal. Petar Sucic will officially become a new Nerazzurri star in June. Meanwhile, the Serie A runners-up are working around the clock to complete Luis Henrique's arrival from Marseille. Advertisement Furthermore, Manchester United flops Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund are on the club's shortlist. With Marko Arnautovic and Joaquin Correa set to wave goodbye, Inter are in the market for attacking reinforcements. Parma's Ange-Yoan Bonny is another concrete target. Further additions may come at the back, with Koni De Winter, Jhon Lucumi, and Sam Beukema in Inter's crosshairs. However, much will depend on Yann Bisseck's future. Finally, Inter could pursue a deal for Morten Frendrup, who enjoyed a superb season at Genoa.
