Inzaghi reveals ‘hope’ regarding AC Milan after Pisa obtain promotion to Serie A | OneFootball

Filippo Inzaghi has admitted that he is looking forward to facing AC Milan next season, a club that he holds very close to his heart.

It was party time for Pisa yesterday, as they were promoted back to Serie A after 34 years away, finishing second in Serie B. Nicholas Bonfanti’s winner in a 1-0 away defeat to Bari did not matter, with the Tuscan club securing a spot as runners-up behind Sassuolo.

It has been a remarkable journey for Pisa since declaring bankruptcy in the early 1990s. The last time they were in the top flight in Italy was back in 1990-91 under Ukrainian boss Mircea Lucescu, and now a three-decade wait has come to an end.

Inzaghi spoke live on Sky during the celebrations that were taking place in Pisa and – in addition to speaking about the season, the emotions and facing his brother Simone – he was also asked about Milan.

“Look, I had a lot to think about. When I arrived here, I hoped to achieve a similar feat. I only hope that Milan will soon return to the glories of the past,” he said (via MilanNews).

“Milan fans are special and Milan deserves to be a protagonist in the league and in the Champions League as it was in our years. I hope for this. Then I don’t like to talk from the outside, because you have to be inside to know things.”
