Nothing is going right for Internazionale and club president Massimo Moratti is now considering the option of sacking Gian Piero Gasperini.
The coach was tasked to do better than Leonardo with whom Inter won the 2011 Coppa Italia. As of now, however, Gasperini has not shown good signs. Losing 4-3 to Palermo on the first match-day of the Serie A was never a good way to kick-off the domestic campaign.
On Tuesday night, the Nerazzurri suffered a major blow through a heartbreaking 3-1 defeat against Novara. Riccardo Meggiorini’s first half goal put the hosts under pressure to score but when Marco Rigoni found the back of the net through the penalty spot inside the 86th minute, Inter’s chances of winning the match got baffled.
Esteban Cambiasso did put his side back into the game 3 minute later but it was too little, too late. Rigoni completed his brace at the 90th minute as the visitors went home with nothing in the bag.
Before this loss, Internazionale had played out a 0-0 draw against AS Roma to earn their only point thus far. Inter are 14th in the standings and they have not managed to take advantage of AC Milan’s slipups. Concerned by Gasperini’s lack of control during Inter’s defeat to Novara, Massimo Moratti told Sky Sport Italia:
“I did not see the coach had the team in his hands. I will take the night to decide [his future].”
Internazionale could get a new manager before the UEFA Champions League resumes at the end of this month. A trip to CSKA Moskva is next on the Italians’ European agenda. Bouncing back from the shocking 1-0 defeat to Trabzonspor is a must for Inter.
