Inter Milan’s Rising Star Gets His Moment in Coppa Italia Victory

Inter Milan’s 19-year-old prospect, Mark Aidoo, took his first steps onto the senior stage during their Coppa Italia Round of 16 victory against Udinese on Thursday, December 19, 2024. In the final moments of the match, head coach Simone Inzaghi called upon Aidoo to replace veteran Matteo Darmian in the 88th minute, marking a milestone in the youngster’s career.

The Nerazzurri had already secured their spot in the quarter-finals with goals from Marko Arnautovic and Kristjan Asllani. Aidoo’s debut added a touch of promise to a night of celebrations at the San Siro, as fans witnessed a glimpse of the future.

Born in Italy to Ghanaian parents, Aidoo represents a blend of talent and potential. Having previously featured for Italy’s U17 national team, he’s also eligible to play for Ghana. His promotion to the first team last summer followed an impressive stint with Inter’s primavera squad, where he showcased skill and consistency.

The youngster’s debut arrives with high expectations as Inter prepare to face Lazio in the quarter-finals, and fans will be watching closely to see how Aidoo’s journey unfolds.
