Lazio midfielder Lucas Leiva has sung the praises of Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi.
Inzaghi left Lazio for Inter last summer.
Lucas told the Athletic: “Inzaghi still young (45), but was even younger when I arrived at Lazio.
“He won a few titles. I didn’t know much about him. It was only his second season as a first-team coach. It was a very positive surprise when I started working with him. He’s a great manager.
“For me, he was really important. I think he’s the coach I played the most games for. The last four years I played with him are probably one of the best times in my career because he gave me a lot of confidence, we were successful together and we won.
“He’s a very offensive manager. But like all Italians, he is very worried about tactics and how not to concede goals. It’s a good mix. Simone’s very young so he tends to attack a lot. His teams are always scoring a lot of goals but he has in his blood Italian defensive tactics. That’s why I think he has been successful and he’s progressing very well in his career.”
