Simone Inzaghi meltdown: another championship at risk and exoneration near

Simone Inzaghi under indictment in Saudi Arabia: the former Inter coach risks paying dearly for Al-Hilal’s collapse in the league. After the lavish market and the arrival of Karim Benzema, the Saudi team has gone haywire, squandering a seven-point lead in the standings and now finding itself -3 from the top, where Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr, who is looking forward to winning his first trophy in the Middle East, currently sits.

The former Nerazzurri coach, who is in danger of seeing his second consecutive championship slip away after the one he lost last season with Inter, is strongly criticized by the media and fans and risks being exonerated: the Saudi management is considering in these hours how to act.

The Piacenza coach&#8217s team had literally dominated the first part of the season, and after the January arrival of Benzema, who started with a hat trick, the championship seemed already won. Instead, the team went into a slump in results, getting caught up by Ronaldo and co. The’Al Hilal drew five of their last seven league games, throwing away a lead that seemed unbridgeable.

There are still 11 matches left in the league and everything is on the line, but time may have already run out for Simone Inzaghi. However, the former Inter Milan player has a contract worth 26 million euros net a year and a very high penalty in case of a waiver, and at the moment the Arabs are hesitant to oust him: a new misstep in the next game against Al Shabab could be the straw that breaks the camel&#8217s back, however.
