Pisa Coach Pippo Inzaghi Defends Simone & Inter Milan: ‘The Criticism I Read Is Absurd'
Pisa coach Pippo Inzaghi feels that the criticism of his brother Simone Inzaghi at Inter Milan is 'absurd.' The coach and legendary former striker gave his thoughts in the Sportweek insert in today's print edition of the Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Advertisement Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi has certainly won plenty of praise for the job he's done in recent years. However, at the same time, there has also been plenty of criticism for the Nerazzurri coach. Prominent figures in Italian football such as Arrigo Sacchi and Antonio Cassano, for example, have criticized Inzaghi, for example. Whilst Inter have soared in the Champions League, their performances in Serie A have not always been up to par. Particularly in the last couple campaigns, Inter have been many people's heavy favourites for the league title. Therefore, failure to win it in Inzaghi's first two seasons in charge were the source of criticism. Advertisement And that would certainly be the case if Inter lose out to Napoli this time around. Meanwhile, Inter have drawn criticism for their performances in recent derbies against AC Milan. They have failed to beat the Rossoneri in five separate matches this season. And then, there have been criticisms of Inter's style of play. Particularly the relatively defensive displays they have put in in Europe frequently. Pippo Inzaghi: 'The Criticisms I Read Of Simone & Inter Milan Are Absurd' BOLOGNA, ITALY – APRIL 20: Simone Inzaghi head coach of FC Internazionale during the Serie A match between Bologna and FC Internazionale at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara on April 20, 2025 in Bologna, Italy. (Photo by) However, for his part, Simone Inzaghi's brother Pippo Inzaghi doesn't take these criticisms very seriously. Pippo argued that 'Simone is the best coach around.' Advertisement 'And not just now,' he continued. 'He's managed a gruelling season brilliantly.' 'And sometimes I have to read criticisms that are absurd.' 'Inter's progressive growth is a manifesto of Simone's work,' argued Pippo. 'A superlative coach in technical terms, but also a man who's very good at reading the minds and hearts of 25 different guys.' 'The dressing room is a special place,' Pippo commented. 'You have to know how to get inside of it, and handle it carefully.' 'My brother never makes a mistake,' added the former AC Milan and Juventus striker and current Pisa coach.
