Inzaghi: 'Milan are the priority'

By Football Italia staff

Pippo Inzaghi hinted he could replace Clarence Seedorf. “I will soon meet with Milan and decide on my future. They are the priority.”

While Seedorf’s future remains in serious doubt just five months after replacing Massimiliano Allegri, Inzaghi has impressed as Coach of the Rossoneri Primavera youth team.

“I am happy with my path, Milan care about me and we’ll see what the future holds,” he told Sky Sport Italia.

“I know that everyone here respects me and I am also aware I have it all to prove, just as I did in my playing days.

“It’s complicated being a Coach, but if you do it with passion then you get good results.”

Inzaghi had been approached by Sassuolo in January, but Milan refused to release him, while he was also a strong option to take over when Allegri was sacked.

“I’ve never thought about what comes tomorrow, as I live day by day. I have another two years on my contract, I will soon meet with Milan and decide on my future. I am relaxed. I’ve had some great times with the Primavera side, so we’ll see.

“Adriano Galliani doesn’t want to send me away, so it’s unlikely I’d join another club. Milan are the priority, as they have always given me everything and I’d like to meet up to understand their projects.

“Seedorf? I think he did a good job and I wish him all the best.”

Inzaghi’s brother Simone is Coach of the Lazio Primavera youth side and has been tipped as a potential successor to Edy Reja on the main Aquile bench.

“Simo is doing really well and I hope he can become Lazio Coach, as he’s got what it takes. It’ll be fun to meet up again on the touchline, as we had a lot of joy as players and hope to continue that in our management careers too.”
