Inter Milan, Simone Inzaghi said goodbye: he goes to Saudi Arabia
I’Inter and Simone Inzaghi have said goodbye: as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the coach from Piacenza and the Nerazzurri club executives sanctioned their separation in the meeting held on Tuesday afternoon. Inzaghi’s cycle thus comes to an end after four years, one year ahead of the expiration of his contract, set for 2026.
Inzaghi chose to accept the rich offer from Al Hilal, and next season he will coach in the Saudi Pro League, Saudi Arabia’s top league. The adventure with the Middle East team will start immediately: Inzaghi will already be in Miami in the United States over the weekend, where he will participate with his new team in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup.
Inzaghi, according to Rosea reports, considered the cycle now over after the very heavy 0-5 suffered against PSG in the Champions League final, and felt a sense of fatigue and frustration after a season without titles. The coach from Piacenza won on the Inter bench a Scudetto in 2024, two Italian Cups and three Italian Super Cups in four years. Two Champions League finals reached, both lost to City and PSG.
L’Inter will now work to hire the new coach: Cesc Fabregas, current Como coach, and Roberto De Zerbi, now at Marseille, would be the two favored coaches to succeed him.
