Al Hilal’s executives announced Inzaghi’s arrival with the comment: “The Italian genius is here.” Even before Simone Inzaghi suffered a debacle in the Champions League final, everything was pointing toward a breakup with Inter. But while Inzaghi changed clubs Immediately, Inter is now facing a problem since their main target, Cesc Fabregas, rejected them. Inter sporting director and president were confined they could persuade former Arsenal midfielder to leave Como and talked with him for days, saw him as the best possible solution but instead, they got a negative response! Cesc Fabregas turned down Inter. Inter at the crossroads, everything depends on InzaghiHe doesn’t intend to take on building a team at the Giuseppe Meazza stadium. Sporting director Piero Ausilio flew to London in vain; he and president Beppe Marotta didn’t get what they wanted. They hit a dead end. That’s why the president of Como stepped in.“Cesc is not leaving Como. Our journey will be long, lasting several seasons. Everything revolves around Fabregas” said president Mirwan Suwarso. The moment the owner of the club by the lake spoke up and categorically denied that there was any chance of Cesc Fabregas becoming Inter’s coach, insisting he would not change addresses, it became clear that Inter had a problem. Soon after, the Spanish coach confirmed it himself.“I started at this club because I was thinking about a long-term project. I don’t want to end up at a club where everything revolves around a year or two, and then it’s over. I believe in Como’s long-term project. I came here as a player and I’m very happy because here I can do what I want. We have the same goals, we share ambitions. The president allows me to work the way I want, the way I see things. Fortunately, we share the same vision and goal, which is to achieve as much as possible. Together, we’ve become a very good team, and in a small town and small club – because we’re still a small club – but we have big ambitions for the future” he said.

And that creates a huge problem for Inter. Or at least it could. For now, there’s no reason to panic, but it’s definitely not a pleasant situation. Inter, just a week before departing for the Club World Cup, has no coach. Everything they had planned has fallen apart in an instant. Now, in Appiano Gentile, they’ll have to turn to other options, and currently, there are two. They’re looking at two Serie A coaches. One is Parma’s Cristian Chivu, the other is Genoa’s Patrick Vieira. These are the names the media is tossing around in Italy today. They’re not the names Inter had hoped for; they expected more. They were just backup options. Now it’s: take what you can get.##NAJAVA_MECA_8963099##
