Just a few days ago, coach Simone Inzaghi with Inter Milan still stood in the final of the Champions League. Now he will leave the club.
After the disappointing Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain, an era at Inter Milan ends: Simone Inzaghi leaves the club after four years. The official announcement of the association followed on Tuesday – they separated “mutually”.
As several media unanimously report, Inzaghi informed the club tour that he would accept an offer from Saudi Arabia. His new employer should therefore be Al-Hilal, although his contract was still running at Inter until 2026.
“For me it is time to say goodbye to this club after a four-year trip in which I gave everything,” said the 49-year-old. Intere Intere his trainer with appreciative words and highlighted his passion, professionalism and commitment.
Even after the clear 0: 5 defeat in this year’s final against PSG, Inzaghi had left his future open. Already in 2023 he was in the final with Inter, at that time his team was narrowly lost 0-1. Despite the defeats, Inzaghi once led the club to the championship and also won the trophy twice. Despite the recent setback, the club tour wanted to continue planning with him.
According to “Gazzetta Dello Sport”, Inzaghi al-Hilal will already coach at the upcoming club World Cup in the USA. The tournament begins on June 14th, Inzaghi’s debut could be made against Real Madrid and coach Xabi Alonso. In Group H, Al-Hilal also meets RB Salzburg and CF Pachuca. There is an annual salary of up to 30 million euros in the room.
The Italian runner-up is now under pressure: the team sets off for the club World Cup on June 11th. CESC Fàbregas, currently under contract with Como 1907, and Roberto de Zerbi by Olympique Marseille are traded as possible successors.
