Shocking: Marotta accuses Inzaghi of treason! “I made him five proposals, he refused them all …” – the sensational background that no one expected
The Inter world is still shaken by Simone Inzaghi’s sudden departure, but in the last few hours the situation has taken on dramatic and unexpected contours. In an extraordinary press conference convened in Milan, the presidentGiuseppe Marottarevealed shocking details on the farewell of the now former Nerazzurri coach, publicly accusing himhaving “betrayed the trust” of the club and fans.
Marotta breaks the silence: “A personal and professional wound”
“I never thought I had to speak in these terms of Simone,” made his debut Marotta, visibly disappointed. “We did everything possible to keep it. I presented him five different proposals, with economic adjustments and technical guarantees. But he refused them all, without even seriously discussing them.”
The words of the manager sound like a direct accusation: Inzaghi, who until a few weeks ago was celebrated for having brought the Scudetto back to San Siro, would have already decided to turn the page for some time,without ever clearly communicating it to the company.
The five proposals rejected
According to Marotta, the offers made in Inzaghi included:
-
Three -year renewal with engagement of 30% increased.
-
Full autonomy on the market, with white paper on the technical choices.
-
Incentives related to the Champions League.
-
A greater role in the management of youth.
-
Possibility to enter the club’s technical board after the coach contract.
“All proposals that any technician would consider a dream,” said Marotta. “Yet he chose to turn to the other side.”
The Saudi offer already on the table?
The words of the president feed a theory that many already suspected:Inzaghi would have had contacts with Al Hilal long before the end of the season, and would have played on two tables without ever clarifying his intentions.
“It was a behavior that surprised us. We trusted him,” continued Marotta. “But in light of what happened, it is clear that his priorities had changed for some time.”
The offer of the Al Hilal, according to Saudi sources, is around60 million euros in three years, with luxury benefits and full control over the sports project. A package that, evidently, Inter could not match.
The reactions in the locker room
Marotta’s statements have triggered a new wave of tension in the Nerazzurri environment. Some players would have learned with surprise that the coach had already decided to leave for weeks. “He talked about the future, work and growth … and in the meantime he was dealing elsewhere?“He said, anonymously, a team veteran.
Lautaro Martínez, already the protagonist in recent days with heavy words on a mysterious figure who destabilized the locker room, posted a cryptic phrase on social media:
“Whoever plays with the feelings of others, sooner or later pays the price.”
A message that many have interpreted as a clear reference to Inzaghi.
The fans: between anger and disappointment
The fans also remained indifferent. The social networks have been flooded with messages of disappointment and bitterness:
“You left us at the highest moment, for money. Is this your thanks?”, A user writes.
“If it was already decided, he had to say it. Don’t lie to the fans,” he writes another.
In the meantime, some organized groups are evaluating not to pay homage to the former technician in the event of a future return to San Siro:“Whoever betrays, is no more than ours.”
And now?
With the picture that becomes more complex, Inter will have to facea double challenge: reconstruct trust inside the club and quickly choose a successor capable of not making Inzaghi regret. The names on the table remain those ofThiago Motta, Marcelo Gallardo and Antonio Conte, but the negotiations are still in the initial phase.
Marotta concluded the conference with a phrase as bitter as it is charged with determination:
“Inter do not stop for anyone. Whoever chooses to leave will be replaced by those who have the Nerazzurri heart.”
The wound is open. The trust has been cracked. But Inter’s future will write, once again, in the sign of resilience. And perhaps, also of sporting revenge.
