Mkhitaryan: ‘Could be my last season, no point comparing Inter coaches now’

Henrikh Mkhitaryan has not yet decided whether this is the final season of his career, and warns there is ‘no point’ comparing Cristian Chivu with Simone Inzaghi at Inter now.

The Armenia international will celebrate his 37th birthday in January, but shows no signs of slowing down and remains a core figure in the Nerazzurri midfield.

He is currently publicising the release of his autobiography in Italy and that inevitably leads to questions about how long is left in his career.

“I put passion, life, heart and pride into my work. I am proud of my career and am only now realising what I achieved,” Mkhitaryan told Sky Sport Italia.

“It has been a difficult time, I am doing everything possible to be in good shape physically. At the end of this season, I’ll decide whether to continue or retire.”

He represented clubs like Manchester United, Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund, but has been in Italy since 2019 for first Roma and then Inter.

These two Serie A clubs go head-to-head at the weekend, in what could be a Scudetto battle.
