Club World Cup: Inter Milan are eager to retain manager Simone Inzaghi if he chooses to remain at the club, according to club president Giuseppe Marotta, who emphasised that Saturday’s 5-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final will not influence their decision.

Luis Enrique’s PSG secured their first Champions League title with a record-breaking margin in a final, while a devastated Inzaghi endured his second loss at this stage, following a narrow defeat to Manchester City in Istanbul two years ago.

Inzaghi’s contract with Inter runs until June next year, and Marotta confirmed that discussions with the coach will begin in the coming days. Meanwhile, Italian media reports suggest Inzaghi could depart as early as this month, ahead of the Club World Cup in the US, scheduled from June 14 to July 13.
