Ledesma: "Inzaghi Has Managed To Show His Quality. I'm Happy For Him"

Former Lazio midfielder, Cristian Ledesma praised the splendid performance shown by Simone Inzaghi in his first season with Inter Milan.  Ledesma assesses Inzaghi has shown his quality as a top manager.

In the summer of last year, Simone Inzaghi was appointed as the new manager of Inter Milan.  At that time, Inzaghi faced a very formidable challenge because he had to be able to replace the role of Antonio Conte, who the previous season had succeeded in bringing the Nerazzurri to the Scudetto.  Not to mention the Inter squad which underwent a big change where they released two of their key players, Achraf Hakimi and Romelu Lukaku.  This condition then made many people not believe that Inzaghi would have a big impact on Inter.

Slowly but surely, Inzaghi managed to show his class as one of the top managers in Italy.  Inzaghi managed to polish Inter's performance better than the previous season.  Inzaghi made La Beneamata at the top of the standings with a four-point advantage over Napoli and AC Milan.  Not only that, but the manager also managed to bring Inter through to the last 16 of the Champions League and the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia.

Responding to Inzaghi's good performance with Inter, Cristian Ledesma then gave his praise.  Ledesma claims Inzaghi has successfully demonstrated his quality as one of the top coaches in Italy.

"I'm very interested to see how he does, coming after Conte will always be difficult, but Inzaghi has managed to show his quality," Ledesma told TMW Radio.

"I'm happy for him. He succeeded in a very short time. The quality of the Inter players also makes the difference," he concluded.
