FILIPPO INZAGHI has officially kicked off his coaching career with an impressive 5-1 victory today.

Inzaghi retired from the game at the end of the last season with his beautiful and emotional goal against Novara in the last day of the Serie A and today he officially began his coaching career and won his game.

Milan’s Allievi Nazionali team took on Bologna in Vismara, still without Mastour who hasn’t been cleared today and without Christian Maldini in the line-up – but with Paolo Maldini watching from the stands.

Seven Questions, One Allegri (Part 2)

Niang: “Hard work to convince Allegri”

Inzaghi’s team scored five times (Vido, Yaffa x2, Di Molfetta and Miti with the goals for Milan) and conceded once as Pippo starts his coaching career on a high. “It was absolutely beautiful to get my debut today. It was a special feeling,” the 39-years-old Inzaghi told Milannnews.it after the game on Sunday afternoon.

“I’ve been a coach for less than a month, but I’m already trying to make the players understand my ideas. It was a great debut today in front of many people. I feared that all these expectations could overwhelm my players but instead they played a great game. I really liked hearing that (Vice President Adriano) Galliani made sure that he got updates about how the match was going. I received many messages this morning.

“Carlo Ancelotti? Yes, I spoke with him today. Jose Mourinho? No, I haven’t spoken with him recently, but he was one of those who motivated me the most to become a coach. I have a great staff and we all hope that we can do well this season. It’s a great pride for me to be teaching football to the youngsters at Milan.

“It’s great to see that they’re following me. It makes me very happy. If the squad is strong then everything becomes easier. Both us and the first team must compete to win the Scudetto,” the former Italy national team striker added afterwards. “Milan can definitely fight for a top 3 spot this season. Juve have already shown their strength, but we, Inter, Roma and Napoli are ready to pounce when Juve make mistakes.

“I’ve always had a great relationship with Cassano. If Antonio is happy about having joined Inter, then I’m happy for him. I hope that Giampaolo Pazzini will do well for Milan. He’s the perfect striker that Milan were missing. I hope that Pazzini will score many goals for Milan,” concluded the possible future Milan boss.

Inzaghi starts his new experience on a very positive note as he hopes that one day he’ll be leading Milan’s first team to Champions League glory. Meanwhile, he focuses on the young players and learns more.
