Inter Milan Coach Gets Team Back in Shape

 

Coaches stand out for different reasons and this international season has brought the spotlight on Simone Inzaghi. Of course, it was his handiwork that a journalist noticed and talked about. Fabrizio Biasin, an Italian journalist, felt that Simone, the Inter Milan coach was able to avert a crisis early into the season which is rare to see.

 

Fabrizio talked about how the Inter coach was able to get the team back to good performance levels, especially after they had a torrid start in the new season.

Hence, there was pressure on Simone to get Nerazzuri’s team back in shape. The campaign was in doubt and so was the performance ability of Inter Milan players.
