Simone Inzaghi amazes the Fifa Club World Cup: the truth about the farewell to Inter revealed by Zanetti
Riyadh, June 19, 2025 – An epic draw between Al Hilal and Real Madrid at the Fifa Club World Cup has highlighted, once again, the talent of Simone Inzaghi, former Inter coach, now driving the Saudi club. The extraordinary performance of his team against the European champions rekindled the spotlight on the Italian technician, but the sensational declaration of Javier Zanetti, the Nerazzurri legend, who revealed burning background on the farewell of Inzaghi at Inter, made discussing.
“Inzaghi is even better than Chivu. The management made a huge mistake to let it go, and everything for an incredible reason,” said Zanetti in an exclusive interview. The words of the former captain unleashed a wave of indignation among the Nerazzurri fans, who have never forgotten the successes of Inzaghi on the Inter bench, including the 2021 championship and two Italian cups.
According to Zanetti, the decision to separate from Inzaghi would not have been dictated by technical reasons, but by internal dynamics that have left many speechless. “There have been misunderstood and questionable choices from the management. Simone deserved more trust,” he added, without however revealing specific details, feeding speculations and controversy.
Meanwhile, Inzaghi continues to demonstrate its value in Saudi Arabia. The draw against Real Madrid, with an organized and combative AL HILAL, is only the last test of his tactical talent. Inter fans, however, cannot help but ask themselves: what would have been if Inzaghi had remained?
The truth, according to Zanetti, is destined to discuss for a long time. “Simone is one of the best, and Inter could have built something even bigger with him,” concluded the Nerazzurri legend. Words that weigh like a boulder and reopening old wounds for Inter supporters, while Inzaghi continues to shine away from Milan.
