Former Fiorentina defender Manuel Pasqual is backing Simone Inzaghi to maintain Inter Milan's progress.

Inzaghi has replaced Antonio Conte as coach of the Serie A champions.

Pasqual told TMW: “Inter start with a step forward. Conte managed to make his mark last season and Inzaghi will be able to continue the path."

He also expects Juventus to return as a force under coach Max Allegri.

“Allegri's return will give Juventus the right balance to return to fight for the Scudetto."
