Football: the incredible week of the two inzaghi brothers

Three days of madness for the Inzaghi family! Sunday, the elder Filippo (51) was able to celebrate the promotion of Pisa within the Italian elite. On Tuesday, Cadet Simone (49) had the opportunity to celebrate the qualification for the final of the Inter Champions League. The twice, as the main coach.

Former AC Milan star, Filippo took the head of Pisa on July 3. Less than a year after his arrival in Tuscany, he therefore allowed the club founded in 1909 to find the Serie A after 34 years of absence. The latter had gone bankrupt in 1994, and fell into fifth division.

Sunday, “Pippo” Inzaghi and his men conceded a defeat without consequences against Bari (0-1) since the Spezia, their closest prosecutor, also bowed against the Reggiana (1-2). Second in Serie B with 72 points two days before the end of the season, Pisa is therefore guaranteed to finish in the right wagon.

A large handful of hours later, some 300 kilometers north, Simone therefore took the Inter in the final of the Champions League for the second time in the last three editions. The former striker and coach of Lazio Rome, who arrived in San Siro in July 2021, certainly lived the craziest double confrontation of his life against FC Barcelona (3-3 in the first leg, 4-3 on the return).

On May 31, at the Allianz Arena in Munich, the Transalpine technician, who has already won everything in the boot, will have the opportunity to consolidate his status as an outstanding coach if his players-including the Swiss porter Yann Sommer-came to dominate Paris Saint-Germain in the final of the Cup with the big ears.

History to extend the party with the Inzaghi. At least, until the next Inter-Pise in 2025-2026.
