Breaking news: Manchester United board after a meeting approves the return of club’s legend to take charge of Manchester United coaching duty, he arrives Manchester today to sign contract.
Manchester United have made
contact with Simone Inzaghi and face
competition from Atletico Madrid
for the Inter Milan boss as he begins
to learn English, a report from Italy
has claimed.
Reigning Serie A champions Inter
have made an impressive title
defence under new manager Inzaghi
and have returned to the Champions
League knockout stage for the first
time since 2012.
That has alerted clubs across Europe
to the former Lazio manager's rising
reputation – and the 45-year-old is
about to begin an 'in-depth English
course' because he wants to coach
internationally, according
to Corriere Dello Sport.
The report suggests that interim
United boss Ralf Rangnick, who will
be retained as a consultant by the club
once his tenure in charge of the
team culminates at the end of the
campaign, has identified Inzaghi as
a candidate for the permanent position.
Atletico Madrid are also said to be
eyeing Inzaghi as a successor to Diego
Simeone, with the reigning Spanish
champions trailing Liga leaders Real
Madrid by 16 points in the Argentinean's
11th year in charge.
Inzaghi won his first trophy with
Inter by overseeing a 2-1 extra-time
win in the 2021 Supercoppa Italiana
on Wednesday over Juventus, the
club they dethroned as Scudetto
winners last season under former
boss Antonio Conte.
Ex-Italy striker Inzaghi joined Inter
on a deal until 2023, although the
Nerazzurri are understandably keen
to extend his contract.
The ex-youth team coach took
over at Napoli in 2016 and led the
club where he spent more than a
decade of his career to the Coppa
Italia title in 2019, when he also
won his second Supercoppa Italiana,
Inter are a point ahead of AC Milan
at the top of the table with a game
in hand and have lost only one of
their last 20 matches.
That has included a run of nine
wins which was only interrupted by a
defeat at Real Madrid, ensuring Inter
finished second in their Champions
League group.
Liverpool await them in the round
of 16, with the first leg at the San
Siro on February 16.
