Inzaghi Vs Conceicao A “Battle Of The Knockout Specialists” In Inter Milan Vs AC Milan Supercoppa Italiana Final | OneFootball

The Supercoppa Italiana final between Inter Milan’s Simone Inzaghi and AC Milan’s Sergio Conceicao will be a “battle of the knockout specialists.”

This is the view in today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews.

Inzaghi and Conceicao have met as coaches before.

The former was Inter coach when they faced off against Porto in the round of sixteen of the 2022-23 Champions League.

But this evening will be the first time the two coaches square off with Conceicao on the Milan bench.

The Portuguese did, after all, just take over this week at the Rossoneri.

And as the Gazzetta note, it is apropos that the first contest between Inzaghi’s Inter and Conceicao’s Milan will have a trophy at stake.

And with Inter, Inzaghi has added two Coppa and three Supercoppa trophies to his cabinet already.

Meanwhile, Inzaghi also guided Inter to the Champions League final in 2023.

However, in Conceicao, Inzaghi has an adversary who has also been formidable at winning big finals.
