Inzaghi made a habit of taking Dimarco off around the hour mark. Indeed, the 49-year-old had replaced the 27-year-old in 86% of his matches.

On the contrary, Dimarco has been omnipresent under Chivu.

For context, the star wingback has been on the pitch at least 80 minutes in every Serie A start this season.

However, it’s worth noting that Inzaghi was the one to launch Dimarco’s career at San Siro.

The Italian coach established Dimarco as a first-team regular. Therefore, the player’s recent statement shows Inzaghi’s cycle in Milan had run its course.
