Italian coach Simone Inzaghi has clarified his position regarding a potential return of Portuguese full-back João Cancelo, confirming that he remains firm in his current technical approach and does not plan to alter his stance at this stage.
Inzaghi emphasized that his decisions are driven by tactical requirements and squad balance, noting that any player-related considerations are assessed based on cohesion, readiness, and competitive demands. He added that the current focus is on maximizing the performance of the existing squad rather than revisiting previous options.
The comments come amid ongoing speculation surrounding Cancelo’s future and whether he could be reintegrated into the coach’s plans, given his experience and technical quality. However, Inzaghi made it clear that stability and clarity remain priorities, particularly during a crucial phase of the season.
His remarks underline a commitment to consistency and long-term planning, reinforcing the importance of collective structure over individual profiles. As Inzaghi continues to pursue his objectives, both domestically and in continental competitions, he appears determined to rely on a cohesive system built around tactical discipline and team unity.
