Inzaghi reacts to latest Inter award: ‘We wanted to be in this situation’

Inzaghi found a brief moment to discuss the award with the press on Monday. 

“The whole Inter family should be with me on stage when there is an award like this. Starting with our fans who are always with us, as well as my staff who have been following me since I began coaching. I wouldn’t be here without them. And also the management, the owners, and of course the players who are the essential part of everything,” Inzaghi said, reported via TMW. 

Inter are still in the running for a treble in 2024-25. They currently sit at the top of the Serie A table, will play against rivals Milan over two legs of the Coppa Italia semi-final in April, and are due to take on Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-finals in the coming weeks. 

“Now we’ve got the last three months of the season. I’m not going to say which games will be important, there will be a lot, but they will all be exciting,” Inzaghi said in assessment of Inter’s remaining fixtures this season. 

“We will play every three days in Italy and Europe, but we wanted to be in this situation by the end of March. We are playing for everything and we will do it with a lot of enthusiasm.” 

Inzaghi was also asked if he would have preferred if journalists were able to vote on the Panchina d’Oro rather than just coaches. 

He replied: “No, the votes were made by my colleagues this morning and I thanked them publicly. It’s because of them that I always try to improve, we challenge each other every Sunday on the pitch. 

“The club knows the work I do, I feel appreciated and I’m happy at Inter. My family is doing well in Milan, too. We have to continue, knowing that us coaches are, rightly, under scrutiny every 72 hours.”
