Simone Inzaghi Receives Satirical Tapiro d'Oro After Inter’s Heavy Champions League Final Loss
Simone Inzaghi was given the satirical Tapiro d’Oro award following Inter Milan’s crushing 0-5 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League final. The award, presented by the Italian comedy show *Striscia la Notizia*, is traditionally given to public figures who have experienced public embarrassment or failure, adding a humorous twist to an otherwise disappointing moment.
This symbolic golden tapir has previously been awarded to notable Serie A players, including Zlatan Ibrahimović and Álvaro Morata, during moments of controversy or underperformance. Now, Inzaghi joins the list after a loss that marks a difficult chapter in his coaching career. The gesture, though satirical, underlines the harsh spotlight that often accompanies top-level football management in Italy.
Despite the humor behind the award, it serves as a reflection of the expectations and pressures faced by those in the public eye, especially in the world of sports. Inter’s defeat not only ended their Champions League campaign in dramatic fashion but also triggered critical attention toward Inzaghi's tactics and leadership. The public nature of the loss made him a fitting recipient of this culturally iconic “recognition.”
Inzaghi acknowledged the result with humility, admitting Inter Milan were outplayed and that PSG deserved their victory. At 46, he accepted the criticism with a sportsman’s mindset, recognizing the importance of learning from defeat. The Tapiro d’Oro, while delivered with humor, symbolized the emotional weight of such a high-profile failure, adding another layer to his managerial journey.
