Simone Inzaghi seems on the verge of embracing a new adventure, this time abroad, perhaps in the Premier. There is a specific reason behind this desire

There is a relaxed and confident Simone Inzaghi in front of the microphones. Press conferences before matches convey the serenity of a coach who knows he has a solid team on his hands, on course for a second consecutive Scudetto and with the Champions League in his sights. A few days ago, Benjamin Pavard even confessed that Inter wants to go all the way in Europe again. Signs of confidence, conviction and ambition.
Yet, there is a strange aftertaste. Rumors of a possible farewell at the end of the season are chasing each other. From England they say several Premier League teams are watching him closely. Some rumors even mention a survey by Real Madrid, but the most likely destination seems to be England. So much so that, in a reversal that would have the resounding, Massimiliano Allegri’s name has been approached to the Nerazzurri bench.
Why would a coach who is reaping so much with Inter think of changing air? The simplest answer would be one related to stimuli, the desire to confront a different league and new challenges. But there is more to it than that.
Simone Inzaghi verso la Premier: il motivo dietro la sua amarezza
According to some rumors, Inzaghi feels he is not being properly valued in Italy. Despite having brought the Nerazzurri back among Europe’s super bigs — a position that had been missing since the Triplete — and having managed a roster built without crazy spending, he often finds himself having to answer to hasty and sometimes even specious criticism.
Today’s Inter does not have the pharaonic investments of the past behind it. Much of the roster was built with zero-parameter hits and targeted purchases, never going beyond certain figures.

Still, the team works. Many players have improved exponentially under his leadership. Just think of players like Dimarco, who has become an international reference, or how he has revitalized elements that were given up for dead, like Mkhitaryan.
But this does not seem to be enough. Inzaghi perceives a certain media coldness, a recognition that comes with droppers compared to what he would have deserved. In the Premier League, however, the narrative around coaches is completely different. There, a coach who builds a competitive team without crazy spending is hailed. In Italy, it always seems that credit should be reserved for only a select few.
It is not just a matter of media recognition, but also of pure attraction to the English league. The Premier League has long fascinated Simone Inzaghi, both because of the technical level and the structure of the tournament. More teams genuinely vying for the title, a different organization, stadiums that are always full, and a soccer culture that puts coaches at the center of the project, without the interference and controversy witnessed in Serie A.
It is hard to say whether there will really be a big jump at the end of the season. Should Inter win again, the bond with the club could strengthen further. But if, on the other hand, the finish is less brilliant than expected, the temptation to try a new adventure abroad would become almost irresistible.
