Inter, Marotta: Manager change normal, warns of leaving Milan | OneFootball

Inter’s victory over Sassuolo has restored calm after two consecutive defeats. Bringing clarity to the Nerazzurri’s current situation was president Beppe Marotta, who spoke on Radio Anch’io Sport on Rai Radio.

Inter, Marotta: “Coaching change? Physiological difficulties.” But raises the San Siro alarm: “We risk leaving Milan”

The Nerazzurri executive called for balance: “We need to be patient. We are only at the fourth matchday of the league, in a schedule that has already seen us face very challenging games. With the coaching change, it’s normal to encounter difficulties that didn’t arise in previous years. We need to remain very calm.”

Marotta emphasized his trust in the team and the coaching staff: “We are convinced that our work ethic and the values of the group will allow us to get back to where we want to be.”

Youth and youth sector: Nerazzurri pride

The president then praised Cristian Chivu’s journey and Pio Esposito’s debut: “Chivu spent six years in our youth sector, winning two national titles with the Primavera. And then there’s Esposito, who grew up with us. It’s often said that clubs don’t have the courage to launch young players, but we are showing that even big clubs can take this path.”

The stadium issue: “Milan risks falling behind”

The most delicate topic could not be left out: the future of San Siro. Marotta expressed concern: “Milan is one of the most attractive cities in Europe, but it risks becoming marginal. It cannot host a Champions League final and will not be among the candidate cities for Euro 2032. This is because politics has blocked the project, with a debate carried out by conservative figures who do not understand innovation.”

The president reiterated the urgency: “San Siro is part of history, but it’s an old structure that requires constant maintenance. Wembley was demolished and rebuilt: we need to take a step forward here as well.”

Inter and Milan, joint project: “Private investment, not a single public euro”

Marotta clarified the outlines of the project: “We would like to build a new stadium near San Siro. We’re talking about a fully private investment, which would benefit the city in terms of facilities, employment, and tourism. Today Milan and Inter each earn at most 80 million, while in Europe there are clubs that exceed 300 million. This gap penalizes us in terms of competitiveness.”

The final warning is clear: “In the last ten years, 153 new stadiums have been built in Europe, while in Italy only 3 have been renovated. If the conditions are not met in Milan, we will look around and consider solutions outside the city. But the priority remains to take this step together, Inter and Milan, in their city.”
