Inzaghi’s commendable performance has caught the attention of prominent English clubs. Both Manchester United and Chelsea might be seeking new coaching talent soon, given the uncertain statuses of Erik ten Hag and Mauricio Pochettino, respectively, as reported by Tuttosport.

Furthermore, Liverpool and Barcelona are anticipated to pursue new coaches next summer, with the confirmed departures of Juergen Klopp and Xavi.

Thus, Tuttosport highlights that Inter is already initiating discussions for a contract extension with Inzaghi. However, a mere one-year extension may not suffice to secure the 47-year-old’s commitment. Inzaghi and his representatives are likely to seek a longer agreement, possibly until June 2027.

The issue of wages also arises, with Inzaghi presently earning €5.5 million net annually. This figure falls significantly below the potential earnings of a coach of his caliber in the Premier League, which could reach €8-9 million net per season.

Consequently, Inter will need to present an offer that reflects Inzaghi’s contributions and the mounting interest from major European clubs in appointing him.
