Lazio manager Simone Inzaghi has delighted Lazio fans after dismissing rumours linking him to replace Allegri, should the Juventus manager leave the club.

“Replacing Allegri at Juve? It’s nice to be linked to a club like them, but Allegri is the best Italian Coach around.”

Inzaghi has revolutionised his Lazio team this season and we are currently sitting in 3rd place in the Serie A. Inzaghi spoke of his delight at managing The Eagles:

“I’ve been at Lazio for almost 20 years and for me it’s the best thing that could’ve happen to me.”

When asked about the upcoming fixture against Juventus, Inzaghi expressed optimism about the tie, despite the team’s exit in the semi-final of the Coppa Italia against AC Milan:

“I told the lads I was proud of them. We left the cup without ever being at a disadvantage. Facing Juventus immediately will help us regain our strength. We’ve already beaten Juve twice this season, putting in two great performances in terms of aggression and approach.”

Inzaghi also revealed some team news about the Juventus fixture:

“Luis Alberto or Felipe Anderson? They must accept my initial exclusion, although whoever comes on can be more decisive than whoever started, as seen by our numbers. Nani? He’s fine, just like Caicedo. Their problem is that in attack, we’re very much covered with Immobile, Luis Alberto and Felipe Anderson.”
