Simone Inzaghi looks set to take over
Serie A champions Inter after deciding not to follow thought
with an agreement reached earlier this week to renew his
contract with Lazio.
The Inter job became vacant when the Milanese club announced on
Wednesday that Antonio Conte had parted company with them by
mutual consent just days after the celebration for the side's
Serie A title triumph.
Conte reportedly left because the club's Chinese owners want to
cut back spending on players.
Former striker Inzaghi was at Lazio for most of his playing
career and went into coaching with the Rome' club's academy
after hanging up his boots.
The 45-year-old led Lazio to an Italian Cup victory and two
Italian Super Cup triumphs after being promoted head coach in
2016.
The club released a cold statement on Thursday in which it said
it respected the decision by a "coach and former player to
change his mind".
Inzaghi told ANSA that it was the end of a "marvellous adventure
with Lazio".
