Simone Inzaghi, his wife’s confession on Instagram
Simone Inzaghi’s wife Gaia Lucariello also spoke about the news of the day, namely her coach husband’s’farewell to Inter: “The truth is that I would have liked to tell him to stay. I could have insisted, but four years is a long time, and I did not feel like it”
“We would have liked to, yes, but every cycle has a beginning and an end. As a wife, I always try to give the right advice, and today, although the heart would have chosen otherwise, the advice was to move on.
“These four years with Inter have been magnificent. This farewell weighs like a boulder. I will carry these years in my heart forever. Our son also wore the Inter jersey for four years, and that made the bond with these colors even deeper. It is not easy, for any of us. Not even for our little one, who leaves what is home for him.
“Life, however, must be distinguished from work, and today the road takes us elsewhere. But a piece of our heart will stay here. Always. Forza Inter”, he concluded on Instagram
