Marotta: San Siro redevelopment ‘a necessity, not a choice’

Speaking to DAZN ahead of kick-off, Marotta spoke about Inter’s start to the season under new head coach Chivu, and has explained why the Romanian is a perfect fit for the Nerazzurri. 

“I don’t know if we’ve got the best football in Italy, but we are playing good football. It’s essential to win, but it’s even better if you win while playing well,” Marotta said (via TMW). 

“I believe that every coach has their own identity. Chivu is an excellent coach. He has been through a phase of experimentation. Having balance is always very important.

“He’s an excellent professional, and has Nerazzurri identity.”

Marotta also spoke about the redevelopment of the San Siro site, which will include the iconic Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. 

Inter and Milan have agreed to purchase the San Siro site from the city council, who approved the sale at the beginning of the week. It is believed that over 90% of the stadium will be demolished and rebuilt in order to bring it in line with other state-of-the-art venues across Europe. 

“We’re going down a new path. The club and city council will play a big role. It was a necessity rather than a choice,” Marotta said about the upcoming redevelopment.
