Soccer can be cruel like few other professions. You work hard for months, then all it takes is one bad week and everything crumbles under your feet. That’s kind of what is happening at Inter. Until a few days ago, it seemed that the sky was black and blue over Europe: people were talking about the Triplete as if it were a date with destiny. But no. Soccer, the real kind, discounts no one.
In the space of three games, everything changed. First the knockout against Bologna, then the collapse in the derby with Milan, and finally yet another home disappointment against Roma. A kind of chain of disasters that deflated enthusiasm, cracked certainties, and reopened questions that seemed put in the drawer forever.
Just ten days ago, Simone Inzaghi’s contract extension seemed a mere bureaucratic matter. It was enough to put a signature, a quick toast and off to new goals. Today, however, the situation is all one huge question mark.
It is not only the club that is wondering: Inzaghi himself is also pondering his future. He has made it clear that, to stay, real guarantees are needed. Not just words, but a deeper squad, capable of bearing the weight of a long season, full of decisive matches one after the other. Otherwise, he might go back to listening to those sirens that, punctually, come from England.
Allegri-Inter, il contatto c’è: il dettaglio che complica tutto
Among the various hypotheses making their way through the corridors of Liberation Avenue, there is one that tantalises quite a bit. It is not a rumor out of the air: the name is on everyone’s lips, albeit quietly. Massimiliano Allegri.

The former Juventus coach, currently without a bench after the stormy end of his second Juventus experience, is at the window. He is looking for a serious project to restart and, needless to turn around, Inter would be the ideal destination to get back on track.
According to what our editorial staff has gathered, contact between Marotta and Allegri has already taken place. An initial approach, a phone call, a chat to understand moods and intentions. And from the coach from Livorno would have come a “yes” in principle. But – and herein lies the crux – not without conditions.
Allegri does not want to find himself, in June, empty-handed while other trains pass by, as there are several trains in his “station.” That is why he has asked Inter to formalize a pre-agreement already now. Not just a promise, but a real signature, a concrete commitment.
On the part of Marotta and partners, however, this road is almost impassable today. First, because Inzaghi’s fate is yet to be assessed and second, because there are matches too important on the horizon to create further tension.
Result? A big courtship that is likely to remain just a nice suggestion. Inter have put Allegri at the top of their list of preferences, but they cannot immediately guarantee him what they are asking for. Allegri, for his part, has to decide whether to wait, running the risk of being left in the lurch, or look around, as fans of other teams would also apparently welcome him with open arms.

In soccer, sometimes timing is everything. And this story is likely to teach that once again.
