Filippo was a much better……player. Well, a more successful one anyway. But Pippo wouldn’t manage to find Breakfast at Kellogg’s if you tripled his salary.

Simone on the other hand, is leading people to believe he is the smartest, and most likely to succeed Italian coach since Antonio Conte.

REWIND << 8th July, 2016, where were you? I don’t remember where I was, but I know that Biesla left Lazio that day for dirty Leeds. President Claudio Lotito was considering taking legal action (he didn’t).

No one really thought that Simone would take Lazio this far. Not even during his first season as head team coach where he led the Biancocelesti to the final of the Coppa Italia where they lost to spewventus. Theyalso finished 5th ahead of Milanese giants Inter and Milan (both horrible that season). Inzaghi can take props for developing Keita Balde, reigniting the career of Immobile, blowing up Milinkovic-Savic and obtaining respectful results in the process.



FAST FORWARD>>> Now, today, 9th December, 2019, where are you? If you follow Serie A, you no doubt would know that Lazio have just beaten spewVe 3-1 and are third, only 5 points behind league leaders Inter and 2nd place those guys. Luis Alberto, a career proclaimed DEAD by many, has been resurrected within his first three games he started, Jesus ting.

There was no secret that his name was dropped to be the next coach of Juve (after Allegri), but after signing Sarri and struggling so far, eyebrows will no doubt be raised as to whether Simone was the right man for the reigning champions.

It is time to put some definite respect on Simone Inzaghi and his efforts. Injected with more funds, who knows what this guy can do!
