Acting president Beppe Marotta is adamant that the defending Serie A champions must aim to win every trophy. Amidst talk of Simone Inzaghi’s men preferring UEFA Europa League glory over another Scudetto, Marotta felt the urge to address those rumours.
“A club like Inter, for its history, fame and trophies, with all the attention we seek, cannot say ‘I want to win the league or the Champions League,’ but they have to always aim to win. That’s why I’m always real,” Marotta said, as reported by Market trend.
“When I hear the executives of important teams say that the important thing is to finish in the top four … No, the important thing is to win“, continued the Inter president. “If you don’t win, fine, it means the opponents were better. The bar must always be set high: if I aim to sign really important players and I don’t succeed, that doesn’t mean I’m not fit.
“The conditions may not have been right to close the deal, but the effort must be made. Today we are in the Champions League, so why not fight to win it? Why not fight in the league too? Then it is up to the opposition and also us, but we must not be afraid, and that seems obvious to me.“
Marotta also explained his hiring decision Antonio Conte years ago. When asked why he chose the Napoli manager in 2019, the Inter boss admitted it was out of necessity.
“Because at that time, I was sure that the club needed him. But the choice of coach also depends on the time. There are times when you need someone with reinforcement and authority, and others when the team may already be well established, and you may need more of a manager.
