Antonio Cassano was by no means impressed with Inter’s victory over Milan and insists ‘the only chance Simone Inzaghi has to save his job is to win the Champions League.’
The Nerazzurri consolidated their status in second place, having already won the Supercoppa Italiana, after beating their arch-rivals 1-0 at San Siro on Sunday.
However, former Inter player and lifelong supporter Cassano has certainly not changed his mind on Inzaghi.
“The only chance Inzaghi has to save his job is to win the Champions League, otherwise Inter will be forced to make a change,” Cassano told Christian Vieri’s podcast BoboTV.
“Aside from the derby and the Supercoppa, he has not done well. Rather than being fired up, if I was in Inzaghi’s shoes, I’d be ashamed. I’d be at -13 from a Napoli side that is weaker than mine and has a sixth of the wage bill.
“He has to take a good look at himself. Last season it was a disaster calmed only by winning two trophies, but this time around those won’t save him again.”
Inzaghi won the Coppa Italia and the Supercoppa Italiana in his debut campaign after replacing Antonio Conte and fought to the end with Milan for the Scudetto.
Unlike Conte, Inzaghi has been able to twice qualify for the Champions League Round of 16 and the upcoming clash is with FC Porto.
Inzaghi’s record on the Inter bench is of 54 victories, 13 draws and only 15 defeats, his team scoring 164 goals and conceding 78.
In comparison, Conte oversaw 65 wins, 23 draws and 15 defeats, scoring 214 goals and conceding 102.
Antonio, shut up!
