Former Inter President Steven Zhang has shared a poignant message on Instagram to bid farewell to Simone Inzaghi, who has officially left Inter to begin a new chapter in Saudi Arabia. Zhang started his tribute by stating, “`Mister, I always told you that bringing you to Inter was a gift from God for me`.”
Zhang continued to praise the departing coach, describing him as “a person with so much value in their heart, who wins so much on the field and who has always treated everyone with kindness.” He reflected on Inzaghi`s crucial support during challenging times for the club: “You helped me, and you helped my Inter in a difficult moment, and you were always by my side.”
Zhang even shared a personal anecdote: “I even joked with others saying I can`t imagine the day I will have to change Simone. Fortunately, for me that day never arrived…” He concluded his message by echoing words Inzaghi had once said to him, emphasizing their bond and shared successes:
Mister, I just want to tell you the same words you told me a while ago: I will always be there for you, just as you were there for me. Goodness is not forgotten. The joy, the friendship, the trophies, and the star…
It was truly a beautiful journey together with you. Simone Inzaghi, my Mister. Thank you.
