Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi is proud to win a first Scudetto.
Francesco Acerbi and Marcus Thuram struck for Inter in their 2-1 win against AC Milan, which confirmed them as champions.
Inzaghi said, “I pushed hard to bring Acerbi to Inter, as I knew how important he was for my team at Lazio and what he could bring here. The lads were extraordinary, this morning I got them to train under driving rain to practice set plays and it worked, because the opening goal was something we worked on in training.
“It was a wonderful journey and I will always thank Lazio too for giving me this opportunity to start my coaching career. We had some very good years there and were top of the table when the season was suspended by covid I don't know if we could've won then or not."
On leaving Lazio for Inter, the coach also said: “Lazio wanted to continue the rapport, but I felt that it was time to make a change. I wasn't expecting Inter, they had just won the Scudetto, were selling their best players, but something told me I had to come to Inter. I had already worked with Marotta at Sampdoria, I've known Ausilio and Baccin for years, Zanetti of course as an opponent, so I knew we could continue an era despite there being some undeniable difficulties.
“During the tough moments, we rode it out and I have absolutely nothing to get off my chest, just to show off some splendid trophies."
