Inzaghi and Inter: four years of trophies, best moments 🏆 | OneFootball

After four years of success, Simone Inzaghi's Inter chapter has come to a close. The now-former Inter coach has decided to leave Milan to embark on a new adventure in Saudi Arabia, at the helm of Al-Hilal, and the legacy he leaves behind is significant.

Since his arrival on June 3, 2021, Inzaghi has had a devastating impact on the Inter environment. He has won six trophies at the helm of Inter: extraordinary achievements that place him only behind Herrera and Mancini in the special ranking of the most successful coaches in the club's history.

It's true, the two lost Champions League finals "blemish" four years of success, but Inzaghi has made Inter history, and this cannot be denied. Here are the best moments the Nerazzurri have experienced with the "Demon" on the bench.

🔝 Two finals and Inter among the Champions League greats

Let's start with the Champions League, even if the heavy defeat in Monaco against PSG is still a boulder. The two finals reached in the last three seasons highlight how Inter with Inzaghi has become a top club also at the European level.

With Conte, the Nerazzurri returned to winning in Italy, but it was with the former Lazio coach that they took a quality leap. Being competitive everywhere is not for everyone, but Inzaghi made it normal. If Inter is now feared in Europe, it's also thanks to him, and "it doesn't matter" if against City and PSG it didn't go as hoped: finals must also be played, and Inzaghi managed to do so in two seasons out of four.

🏆 6 trophies in the cabinet: Inzaghi among the best

Inzaghi, in just four years at the helm of Inter, managed to carve out a place among the greats who have contributed to making the club's history. 1 Serie A, 2 Italian Cups, and 3 Super Cups have given him the third step of the podium among the most successful coaches in Nerazzurro.

Only the legendary Herrera and Mancini, with seven trophies in the cabinet, have done better than Inzaghi, and this is enough to highlight the devastating impact of the former Lazio coach. Behind Mourinho, although the Treble won by the Special One in 2010 will hardly be surpassed.

👏 Triple of Super Cups: Inzaghi in history

He had already shown with Lazio that the Super Cup was bread for his teeth (two triumphs), but at the helm of Inter, he surpassed himself. Three successes in four seasons (2021, 2022, 2023) have made him the most successful coach of all time.

Quota 5 reached and two sacred monsters like Lippi and Capello detached. Inzaghi in the Super Cup has proven to be almost infallible: the "almost" is due because only Conceicao's Milan managed to stop the Nerazzurri this year.

6️⃣ consecutive derbies

Simone Inzaghi was also the man of the derbies: 6 consecutive victories from the Super Cup in August 2023 to the victory that earned the Scudetto della "star" in April 2024. This is the longest streak of successes in Nerazzurro history against Milan.

Almost a year of unbeaten city rivalry against Pioli's Milan: a rivalry that has created memes and many unforgettable memories in the minds of Nerazzurri fans.

😈 The creation of the "demon"

The nickname "Demon" had been circulating on social media for some time for his way of gesticulating, but it went viral after a match against Juventus in November 2023: a small altercation with Chiesa and Inzaghi remaining fixed looking at him. A video that - in its own way - has entered recent Inter history.

The nickname then became public domain, so much so that it was confirmed in a funny way by Inzaghi himself.

⭐️ The second star in the Milan derby

Finally, the second star. Inzaghi leaves Inter with only one Scudetto in the cabinet, but it's the most important one. The Demon gave the Nerazzurri the 20th championship in a dream night: beating Milan 1-2 in the Derby della Madonnina and another page of history written.

Here, perhaps this is the most beautiful moment of Inzaghi's Nerazzurro chapter. The Piacenza coach made possible what before him seemed unachievable and gave instant, unforgettable snapshots. Inter owes a lot to Simone, and Simone owes a lot to Inter. In a few days, there will already be Al-Hilal in his future, but never say never. Maybe it's just a goodbye.
