Simone Inzaghi Leaves Inter Milan, To Sign Three-Year Deal As New Al Hilal Head Coach This Week

Italian coach Simone Inzaghi is set to sign a three-year contract this week to become the new head coach of Saudi Arabian giants Al Hilal.

The move follows his departure from Inter Milan shortly after the club’s heavy 5-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League final. During his four years at Inter, Inzaghi won a Serie A title, two Coppa Italia trophies, and three Supercoppa Italiana titles, while also leading the team to two Champions League finals.

At Al Hilal, Inzaghi will take charge of a star-studded squad that includes players like Rúben Neves, João Cancelo, Kalidou Koulibaly, and Aleksandar Mitrović. His first major test will come in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, where Al Hilal is scheduled to face Real Madrid in the opening match on June 18.

Inzaghi’s appointment highlights Al Hilal’s ambition to strengthen their squad and compete at the highest level both domestically and in Asian football.
