Inzaghi confirms Venezia exit

Pippo Inzaghi has confirmed he is leaving Venezia, as he is expected to take over at Bologna next season, but insisted there is no decision yet.

The Coach had already hinted at his departure after last night’s 2-1 aggregate defeat to Palermo in the Serie B promotion play-off semi-final.

In two years, SuperPippo took the Lagunari to promotion from Lega Pro and on immediately to the Serie B play-offs.

“I chose this project two seasons ago, with humility dropping into Lega Pro. In five minutes, I realised that I could work the way I wanted to,” said Inzaghi in a statement.

“These have been two fantastic years, we will each go our own way, but what we did together can never be cancelled out. We did all we could, achieving remarkable results.

“I will now think about what to do. I received a few offers, but I told everyone to wait until the day after Venezia’s play-offs concluded.

“I don’t know if I’m going to Serie A, but I do know my lads would’ve deserved that chance. I thank the fans, who were always close to us and gave us a big hand.

“I met the President today and at times you have to end on a high, making difficult decisions.”

Bologna is an awful move for Inzaghi. Getting Venezia promoted or another chance of getting close is MUCH better than finishing bottom half of the league with a team that has little talent.
