Inter Milan will not change their evaluation of coach Simone Inzaghi following their historic 5-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final, chairman and CEO Beppe Marotta insisted.
The Nerazzurri were condemned to a trophyless season as they were hammered at the Allianz Arena, PSG claiming victory by the largest winning margin in a final in the history of the European Cup and the Champions League.
Former Inter defender Achraf Hakimi opened the scoring in the 12th minute before a double from the outstanding Desire Doue put the game beyond doubt.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who only joined PSG in January from the Napoli side that denied Inter the Serie A title, made it 4-0 before Senny Mayulu rounded off an historic route late on.

Inzaghi has been linked with a move to Saudi side Al-Hilal. The Inter boss said before the game that he would meet with the club’s senior management next week, but Marotta was adamant those talks will not be influenced by events on the pitch in Munich.
“It was a negative evening where the opponent outclassed us in every area, so we tip our hats to them,” Marotta told Sky Sport Italia.
“That must not change our view of the season as a whole, including the run to the Champions League final. It was a negative performance. We are sorry for this performance and the many fans who came here.
“It was very difficult to reach this final, we got there with absolute credit by overcoming opponents like Bayern Munich and Barcelona. We looked fragile this evening, but I want to thank our players and coach, because the 59 games played in all competition show how this squad and club deserve to be on this stage.”
“Absolutely no change of evaluation,” Marotta added of Inzaghi.
“We already said that we would meet with Inzaghi next week, he still has a year on his contract and has proved over the last four years that he absolutely deserves to be here and many of our achievements in this time have been down to him.”
