Congratulations to Inter Milan, the heaviest signing of the season has arrived, the 3-year contract has been made, and the establishment of a dynasty can be expected
On April 15, Italian time, Inter coach Inzaghi Jr. admitted that there would be no problem with him renewing his contract with Inter at the end of the season, and that an agreement until 2027 was already on his desk, and that he would work with the management to implement the details at the end of the season, and then work hand in hand. In fact, many media believe that this is likely to be the most important signing for Inter this year.
3 years ago, under the double crisis of Inter Milan suffering from the epidemic + the continuous thunderstorm of Suning Group, coach Conte decided to 'fly separately when the catastrophe came', and resolutely took the severance pay given by Inter to start his vacation life, the team that had just topped the Serie A championship fell into a situation of lack of coaches, Inter CEO Marotta was discerning, and many coaches with championship resumes were not selected, but chose to be only 44 years old young coach Inzaghi. Of course, it turned out to be the best decision at the time.
It is precisely by relying on CEO Marotta's visa-free law and coach Inzaghi Jr.'s good knowledge that Inter Milan has been able to win 1 league title, a Champions League runner-up, 2 Italian Cup titles, and 3 Italian Super Cup championships in these three years. You know, in the past 3 years, Inter Milan has sold a total of Lukaku, Achraf, Onana, Brozovic and 4 absolute cores.
What allows Inter to maintain or even improve its combat effectiveness, the number one contributor is naturally CEO Marotta's high sale and free visa, but the second contributor is the flexible use of Inzaghi Jr. The original players of the team such as Lautaro, Barella, and Bastoni have all been boosted in value and ability after the arrival of Inzaghi Jr.
As for Calhanoglu, Thuram, Onana, Dumfries, and other famous players who joined later, most of them also integrated smoothly, and their value skyrocketed and jumped to a higher level.
As for the young players who have been injected into the youth academy and outsourced such as Dimarco, Bicker and Asllani, they have also been given many opportunities in the hands of Inzaghi Jr. to become the team's main core or important rotation players.
If Marotta is a Bole who is good at Soma, then Inzaghi Jr.'s role in this team is that of a trainer who provides Maxima with a reasonable growth plan and enriches his racing skills. In fact, not only the selection and promotion of players, but also the improvement of Inter's finances should be shared equally between the two.
This season, Inter Milan has further narrowed its losses, from more than 200 million euros during the epidemic year to 40 million euros. If Marotta's buying and selling of players alone is obviously unable to explain such a big difference, as mentioned earlier, the income of Guomai from buying and selling players is only 120 million euros.
The other half of the credit is that Inzaghi Jr. led Inter to the knockout stage of the Champions League for three consecutive years, and won the Coppa Italia and the Italian Super Cup many times. The prize money from these matches, as well as the additional ticket revenues, will cover at least €100 million in Inter's arrears. That's why Inzaghi Jr. is also known as an 'income-generating coach' by Inter fans.
It is worth mentioning that due to the improvement of Inter's Champions League results in recent years, they have also secured a place in the stadium for the inaugural Club World Cup next season, which will bring them at least 50 million euros. Outside the stadium, the increase in sponsorship fees and the sale of peripheral products such as jerseys will also bring Inter 30 million to 50 million euros in revenue. In other words, next season, it is almost inevitable for Inter's finances to turn from negative to positive. This is also the basis why Suning Zhangjia would rather operate in debt than sell the team.
A century-old football giant with the strength to participate in the knockout rounds of the Champions League every year and positive revenue, the stock price is naturally rising in the football market, Suning and Zhang Kangyang's wishful thinking is to wait for the completion of the new stadium of Inter Milan, and then consider whether to sell the club or continue to hold it when the revenue and team assets reach the peak.
And the coach who realizes this ambitious plan is naturally Inzaghi Jr., who can maintain both results and revenue. Therefore, his contract renewal agreement is called the most important signing of Inter this year, and it is well deserved.
