Marotta: Inter cycle ‘far from over’ as he drops hints on Inzaghi’s future | OneFootball

Inter president Giuseppe Marotta acknowledged that the Nerazzurri are entering the decisive stage of the season ‘in the best possible condition’ but remained cautious about discussing their treble prospects, instead emphasizing the team’s ambition ‘to fight until the very end’.

Simone Inzaghi’s side extended their lead at the top of Serie A to three points with a 2-0 win over Atalanta last weekend, further solidifying their Scudetto credentials.

While Inter also remain contenders in both the Champions League and Coppa Italia, Marotta urged everyone to stay grounded ahead of the next two months, which will determine the fine line between a successful and disappointing season.

Marotta: ‘Inter want to be protagonists, but I won’t talk about treble’

“It’s a happy moment,” Inter’s president told Sky Sport Italia in an interview.

“But with a sense of realism, we know we still have the final two months of the season ahead, followed by the Club World Cup, in what will be an unusual continuation of the campaign.

“We are competing in tournaments where we want to be protagonists—that is dictated by both our history and our current merits.

“The coach has done an excellent job, as have the players, the team, and the fans. There is the right atmosphere to reach the finish line in the best possible condition.

“I won’t talk about a treble. Instead, I’ll talk about an environment that must always be ambitious. Ambition is not arrogance—it’s something that pushes you to give your best within your capabilities and motivation.

“We are used to competing under significant pressure. The important thing is to fight until the very end. If others prove to be better than us, we will accept it with respect.”

With Inter still fighting on all fronts, Simone Inzaghi’s future is becoming a key talking point. His contract runs until 2026, but he has already attracted interest from foreign clubs, including teams from the Premier League.

“We have always addressed such matters at the right time,” Marotta said.

“All the conditions are in place to imagine him continuing with us. What matters is the strong connection that has been built—there are the best possible foundations for sitting down and discussing the future.

“With Inzaghi, we have all grown together, and we are in the middle of a cycle that is far from over. There is a new ownership bringing fresh energy, the new stadium project is progressing… everything points toward continuing together.”
