Inter CEO Giuseppe Marotta has spoken to Sky Sport after yesterdayโs defeat against Bologna in order to confirm the boardโs full trust in coach Simone Inzaghi.
โWeโre satisfied with what we have accomplished in recent years, but the team and the coach need to step up and solve the problem we have with consistency. We, as the board, are always ready to back them up but itโs up to them to find solutions. Weโve done great things but the Scudetto is the main prizeโ.
Interโs defeat at Bologna was only their second in 2023 but it was welcomed with widespread frustration and dissatisfaction as the Nerazzurri now sit in second place, on par with Milan and 18 points behind leaders Napoli.
After yesterdayโs game Lautaro Martinez apologized to the fans and it is something Marotta approved: โWe liked Lautaroโs attitude, Iโve appreciated his words. Theyโre synonymous of belongingness and devotion to the jersey. Everyone has to work following this exampleโ.
Finally Marotta spoke about Romelu Lukakuโs future as the striker is on loan from Chelsea and the two clubs have to find new agreement if the Belgian has to stay with The Nerazzurri from next season on.
โAs of today Lukaku is a Chelsea player and heโll go back there at the end of the season, from then on there will be a new scenario and weโll evaluate what to do.
โHe wants to stay, thatโs something he has expressed us in multiple occasions and certainly weโll see if we can get a deal so that he can stayโ.
