Simone Inzaghi Hands Inter Milan Players Extra Rest Period After Supercoppa Italiana Commitments | OneFootball

Inter Milan head coach Simone Inzaghi has given his players a two-day rest upon their return from Saudi Arabia.

According to FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri will have an extra rest period after their Supercoppa Italiana duties.

Unfortunately, Inter failed to make Super Cup history last evening, losing 3-2 to bitter rivals AC Milan in the title decider.

Despite steering two goals clear, courtesy of Mehdi Taremi and Lautaro Martinez’s strikes, they finished second best.

That wasn’t the ideal way to start the new calendar year.

Indeed, Inter spurned a presentable chance to become the first team to win four Super Cup titles on the trot.

Simone Inzaghi Gives His Inter Milan Players Two-Day Rest

Despite the loss, Inzaghi has prioritized recovery and morale by allowing his squad additional time to recuperate.

Inter will resume their title-defending Serie A campaign next Sunday with a must-win clash against Venezia.

Napoli took advantage of Inter’s trip to the Middle East to extend their lead at the table’s summit to four points.

Therefore, the Nerazzurri cannot afford a slip-up at Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo.

Inzaghi’s charges will reconvene on Thursday to begin preparations for their first league match of 2025.

Training will resume as usual on Friday and Saturday.
