Inzaghi has had a successful tenure at Inter, leading the team to multiple trophies, including the Serie A title in 2023–24 and reaching the Champions League final twice in three years. The Serie A giants are keen to retain him and plan to discuss a contract extension after the Champions League final.

For now, the Italian manager remains fully focused on Inter’s Champions League final showdown against PSG in Munich on Saturday. The Nerazzurri are chasing redemption after their heart-breaking 1-0 defeat to Manchester City in the 2023 final. While they narrowly missed out on the Serie A title this season as Napoli clinched it on the final day, a European crown would mark a fantastic finish for Inzaghi’s side.
