#1 Simone Inzaghi - Lazio
Trending
Simone Inzaghi spoke of trust after taking over Lazio in 2016, insisting that the club were doing the right thing in putting him in charge. Fast forward to summer 2017, and Lazio will play Europa League football next season with Inzaghi being handed a new three-year deal to stay with the club.
It’s quite the turnaround for the Rome giants, and for Inzaghi who was merely a stop gap option at the club. He stepped in as a caretaker and despite success, was ousted by Marcelo Bielsa. When the fiery former Chile coach walked out, it was Inzaghi who was called upon with just a month to go before the start of the season.
Now he’s a bonafide rising star in the managerial game and a 5th place finish in 2016/2017 was no easy achievement.
Inzaghi switches his side between 4-3-3 and 3-5-2 seamlessly, and his starting XI is lethal on the counter whilst being keenly aware of its defensive duties.
It’s not bad at all from the man Lazio didn’t really want.
