The Mauro &
Wanda Show
The career of Inter’s Argentinian striker, supported
by his agent wife, is at a crossroads
Words: Paddy AgnewT
his is a story of our times, the
story of an iconic footballer
and his agent/wife in the age
of Twitter and #MeToo. The
impact of Wanda Nara, agent to her
husband, Internazionale striker Mauro
Icardi, tells the tale of a football
community still reluctant in some
quarters to renounce old-fashioned
male chauvinism.
For a start, many Inter fans are
worried that Ms Nara’s aggressive
marketing of her famous spouse
could lead to his departure from the
club. And then there are those who
believe, basically, that the 32-year-old
is interfering in men’s business.
But to put this tale in context, you
have to go back six years to the hot
summer of 2013 when Icardi, Nara
and another footballer, Maxi Lopez, all
three of them Argentinian, became theMauro Icardi PLAYER
