Simone Inzaghi head coach Inter Milan with Super Coppa Trophy in 2024

Born in Piacenza on April 5, 1976, Simone Inzaghi won his third Italian Super Cup in a row. He thus became the coach with the most trophies in the history of the competition. In fact, he surpassed Fabio Capello and Marcelo Lippi in the relevant list in the competitions of 2022 and 2021, the "nerazzurri" coach is now the only one at the top of the ranking.


The King of Cups managed to distance himself from his legendary colleagues in the technical leadership, winning the trophy first with Lazio and now with Inter Milan, who thanks to Lautaro Martinez' 1-0 in the last minutes of the final in Riyadh beat Napoli.


“Fifth Super Cup? I'm happy for the boys, how much they work," Inzaghi said of the record in the post-match interview. "And for the club that in these three years never let us miss anything. Then it's for the fans who faced a long journey, it was a dedication for them."


Simone Inzaghi's Inter so far this season... ➞ 21 wins, 6 draws, 2 losses in all-comps ➞ 2nd in Serie A (game in hand on Juve) ➞ 49 goals in Serie A, just 10 conceded ➞ Into UCL knock-outs .... now, Italian Super Cup winners.


On 27 May 2021, following reports linking him as the next manager of Inter Milan, Lazio confirmed that Inzaghi had officially left the club. On 3 June 2021, Inzaghi signed a two-year contract as coach of Inter.


In his first season as Inter manager, Inzaghi won the Supercoppa Italian on 12 January 2022 and the Coppa Italia on 11 May 2022, defeating Juventus at the end of extra-time in both cases, respectively 2–1 at San Siro and 4–2 at Stadio Olimpico. He finished the Serie A championship in second place, being the most prolific attacking side with 84 goals, and the UEFA Champions League campaign in the round of sixteen, being eliminated by Liverpool with a 1–2 on aggregate (2–0 defeat at San Siro and 1–0 win at Anfield.


In his second season, despite an inconsistent Serie A campaign which saw Napoli stroll to the title, he did once again secure the Sipercoppa Italian and guided Inter to another Coppa Italia title. But, perhaps his most notable achievement was getting Inter into the UEFA Champions league final for the first time in 13 years, after a memorable knock -out stage run which included a 3–0 aggregate victory over local rivals Milan in the semi-finals. However, Inter lost 1–0 to Manchester City in the final. On 5 September 2023, Inzaghi extended his contract with Inter until 2025.


On 15 January 2024, Inzaghi placed third in the 2023 Best Fifa Men;s coach award, behind winner Pep Guardiola and compatriot Luciano Spalletti. So Inzaghi starts 2024 in the best possible way, having reached the UEFA Champions League final in 2023. Despite losing out to favorites Manchester City, the Italian has proven to be a top manager in the cup, determined to now win the league for the first time time.


After finishing second in 2022, Inzaghi is now bidding for the 2024 Scudetto with Massimiliano Allegri and Stefano Pioli, hoping he can also progress to the UEFA Champions League and make a double leap into the managerial elite next spring.
