However, Massimiliano Allegri has decided to take the reigns at Juventus after the “Old Lady” decided to part their ways with Andrea Pirlo. As a result of this, Simeone Inzaghi is fore-runner to hold the reigns of the Italian Champions.
What is the news about Simeone Inzaghi?
The 45-year-old Italian manager is still the manager at Lazio and his contract is set to end at the end of the season. Though there were contract renewal talks with the Lazio, nothing was ascertain. With a new offer waiting in the offing, Inzaghi has delayed the contract talks with Lazio.
One of the most renowned transfer journalists, Fabrizio Romano tweeted on his official handle:
Inter are now in advanced talks with Simone Inzaghi on a two-years contract. The agreement is getting closer and he’s set to be the new Inter manager after Antonio Conte. #Inter Sarri, Fonseca and Conceiçao have never been considered as ‘serious options’.
Ever since his arrival at Stadio Olimpico, the manager has featured in 242 games as the gaffer and has accumulated 1.78 points per game. The former Lazio player was appointed as a care-taker manager at Stadio Olimpico and was handed a five-year contract by the Italian outfit. Simeone Inzaghi has preferred 3-5-2 formation and style of play which was utilised by Antonio Conte at Inter as well.
