Inter Milan President Confirms ‘We’ll Discuss Inzaghi’s Contract After FIFA Club World Cup’ – Also Responds To Conte Serie A Jabs

Inter Milan President Beppe Marotta addressed the question of Inzaghi’s future at the club.

“He’s still under contract for one year,” said the Nerazzurri President. “And then there’s one particularly significant thing – we have a great, symbiotic relationship with Inzaghi.”

“He’s a great professional,” Marotta said of Inter’s coach.

He called Inzaghi “the architect of this extraordinary cycle.”

“We have every desire to continue on with him. And I don’t hear any bells ringing from any other direction.”

“Now’s not the time to talk about it,” Marotta then cautioned.

“After the Champions League final and the Club World Cup we’ll meet, and discuss an offer of an extension,” he added.

Then, Marotta was evasive on the recent controversy around refereeing and VAR in Serie A. “I don’t want to get into that,” he said. “Particularly tonight.”

“Silence is a form of communication,” the Inter President continued. “Then, it has to be interpreted by some, and explained by others – in this case, us.”

Marotta was referring to Inter’s media blackout after last Sunday’s Serie A draw with Lazio.

“But we thought it was appropriate not out of disrespect. But because of the feeling of tension that was still lingering.”

“It’s the right thing to do to manage those difficult moments.”

Marotta Responds To Conte’s Jibes

Meanwhile, Marotta responded to recent comments by Napoli coach Antonio Conte suggesting that the Serie A title is a more meaningful reflection of a team’s quality than Serie A.

“The league is a competition like a marathon,” the Inter President said. “The Champions League often has circumstances that help you.”

“This season, though, the league matches were normal. But we played fifteen matches in other competitions, so our struggles in that respect are normal.”
