On Saturday night, Juventus and Lazio are set to go head-to-head in another tough battle between the two old rivals.
Biancocelesti coach Simone Inzaghi has played a key part in the club’s resurgence ever since taking the reigns at the capital in 2016.
According to the Corriere dello Sport (via ilBianconero), the 44-year-old has found success against the Old Lady more than anyone else within the last few years.
The report says that Inzaghi has been able to repeatedly find a way to deal with Juve’s overwhelming power in previous seasons.
From the Italian Super Cup triumph in 2017, to beating the Bianconeri twice last season in a 3-1 result, the Aquile boss has a certain winning recipe against the Old Lady.
Even when Juventus were dominating the first encounter between the two sides earlier in the season, Felipe Caicedo’s last-second equalizer insured that Lazio wouldn’t go out empty-handed.
Therefore, after witnessing his tactical ruses closely, would the Juventus hierarchy consider Inzaghi as a potential manager in the future?
According to Calciomercato (via ilBianconero), the Biancocelsti coach is yet to sign a new contract with the club, fueling speculations about a certain future in black and white.
The source believes that Simone is well-liked by the Juventus management, however, Andrea Pirlo remains the leader of the current project.
On the other hand, the capital club should eventually reward their former striker with a contract worth 2.5 millions net per season.
