Inter earthquake: Inzaghi announces the farewell, the name of Massimiliano Allegri appears for the Nerazzurri bench
Milan – May 23, 2025
When everything seemed directed towards confirmation, Simone Inzaghi sparked the cards. At the press conference, on the sidelines of the last day of the championship, the Inter coach left everyone speechless by announcing that he wants to reflect on his future away from Milan. The news also caught the Nerazzurri management by surprise, which immediately set in motion to identify a possible substitute. Among the names at the top of the list there is a prominent figure of Italian football: Massimiliano Allegri.
A declaration that displaces everyone
“I thank the club, the fans and my boys for these extraordinary years. But the time has come to make a personal and professional evaluation. It is not a definitive decision, but I do not exclude anything,” said Inzaghi in enigmatic tone.
A phrase that had the effect of a bomb in the locker room and in the upper floors of Viale della Liberazione. Until a few days ago, the renewal of the technician seemed a formality. But behind the scenes, it seems that there have been some disagreements related to the market and the management of the squad in the season just ended, culminating without trophies.
Three hot names: but one stands out on all
According to sources close to the management, Inter are already moving. Three profiles were processed in a preliminary basis:
-
Thiago Motta– Former Nerazzurri player, current Bologna coach, is among the most appreciated technicians in Serie A for his modern game and the enhancement of young people.
-
ROBERTO DE ZERBI– Reduce from a positive experience in the Premier League, it is a name that you really like for its offensive and international mentality.
-
Massimiliano Allegri– The name that really shaken the environment. Returning from the end of his second cycle to Juventus, Allegri is free and eager to return to train at high levels.
Allegri-Inter: a concrete possibility?
Allegri’s name is the one that most intrigues, especially for his experience, his palmarès and the ability to manage teams with high pressures. After years at the helm of Juventus, with whom he won 11 trophies including 5 consecutive badges, the former Juventus coach could be ready for a new challenge in Milan.
According to rumors, there would have already been a first informal contact between his entourage and some Inter managers. Allegri would have given a general availability, but he would also have asked for technical guarantees and a central role in market decisions.
The reaction of the management
Within the Nerazzurri club, the news of the possible farewell of Inzaghi generated bewilderment. Giuseppe Marotta and Piero Ausilio profoundly estimate the Piacenza coach, but they are also aware of the need to have a ready -made plan.
“Simone did an extraordinary job, but if he decided to leave, we will be ready to make the best decisions for the good of Inter,” he would have said a source close to the company.
The fans are divided
The Nerazzurri fans appeared split. There are those who cannot accept the idea of losing Inzaghi, protagonist of brilliant seasons and a Champions League final achieved in 2023, and those who would enthusiastically welcome the arrival of a winning technician like Allegri.
“Inzaghi deserves continuity, built a solid group,” writes a fan on X.
“Allegri is the right man to return to winning titles immediately,” replies another.
The next few weeks will be decisive
Everything will revolve around the final decision of Simone Inzaghi, who should arrive by the end of May. If he confirmed the will to leave, Inter would move decisively towards the chosen profile. Thiago Motta is a fascinating option, De Zerbi is difficult to free, but Allegri represents the experience and pragmatism requested in a moment of transition.
Conclusion
Inter are again at the crossroads. After years of technical stability with Simone Inzaghi, a new cycle could open. And that cycle could bring the name of Massimiliano Allegri, ready to write a new page of Nerazzurri history. For now, it is only an indiscretion, but the time holds and the Inter bench is too hot to stay vacant for a long time.
