Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi retains the club’s backing despite a poor run of form, chief executive Giuseppe Marotta has said.
The Italian press reported Inter held an emergency meeting on Thursday as they look to respond to their underwhelming run, but Marotta still has faith in the Nerazzurri coach.Â
“The mood is that of a healthy realism, every defeat brings with it a more careful analysis of the problems,” he said.
“We have a very united staff both at managerial and technical level. From a confrontation, something positive always comes out for the future.
“Inzaghi has a quality squad that he must use in the best possible way, based on the indications of the opponents and the training sessions.
“I think he is doing it in the best way, even if unfortunately the last two games coincided with two defeats.
“But god forbid, he is doing a great job, he knows how to coach and manage the team very well.”
The Nerazzurri have lost two of their past three Serie A matches, falling to defeats against Lazio and Milan, and began their Champions League campaign with a 2-0 reverse against Bayern Munich on Wednesday.
Should Inter suffer another defeat against Torino on Saturday, they will have recorded three defeats from their opening six matches of a league season for just the fourth time in their history, after doing so in 2011-12 (four), 2000-01 and 1983-84 (both three).
However, Marotta did apologise to the Nerazzurri’s supporters for recent performances, adding: “We are Inter, and if we want to say one important thing, everyone is more careful, from the management to the technical area and the players.
“When you wear this shirt, you must be honoured, I’m sorry for yesterday’s 60,000 and for the 70,000 of other occasions.
