Simone Inzaghi leaves Inter Milan to join Al-Hilal with shocking contract

(NLDO) – Just three days after Inter Milan's defeat in the Champions League final, coach Simone Inzaghi officially parted ways with the Italian team.

Simone Inzaghi's Inter Milan lost 5-0 to Paris Saint-Germain, making the Champions League final a nightmare for the team and the "Nerazzurri" fans. It was also one of the most lopsided finals in the history of Europe's most prestigious tournament.

Simone Inzaghi shocked by Inter Milan's defeat

Unable to accept this harsh reality, coach Simone Inzaghi decided to leave the team. In a letter to fans via the club's homepage, Inzaaghi wrote: "It's time for me to say goodbye after 4 years of devoting all my heart and soul to the glory of the team. All my thoughts and actions are for Inter and I have received professional and passionate cooperation from the players, management and staff. Six titles and the journey in the Champions League are proof of my tireless efforts."

Three years, twice Simone Inzaghi missed the Champions League trophy

Four years of working with a tight budget, without any big-name contracts, the 49-year-old coach has brought Inter Milan impressive achievements: One Serie A title, two Coppa Italia, three Italian Super Cups and twice brought the team to the Champions League final.

The defeat at the Allianz Arena not only left Inter Milan empty-handed in the European arena, but also ended a gloomy season when the "Nerazzurri" lost the Serie A championship to Napoli by just 1 point after being eliminated from the Coppa Italia by arch-rivals AC Milan in the semi-finals.

The golden days passed quickly, Inzaghi officially said goodbye to Inter Milan

Just a few hours after Inter Milan announced their decision to part ways with Simone Inzaghi, European and Middle Eastern media simultaneously confirmed his next destination: Al-Hilal... According to initial information, Inzaghi has agreed to lead the Saudi Arabian team with a 3-year contract, with a salary of up to 26 million euros per season.

Al-Hilal, the most successful club in Saudi Arabia, is ambitious to continue to raise its position in Asia and beyond on the world stage, in the context of the Saudi Pro-League attracting a series of top stars. The appointment of Inzaghi is seen as a strategic step to improve expertise and aim for international titles such as the AFC Champions League and Club World Cup.

Inzaghi's destination is Al-Hilal

Notably, Inzaghi came to Al-Hilal at a time when the team was shifting towards rebuilding its force with a focus on developing young talent alongside its existing star squad. This is very consistent with the football philosophy of the Italian coach, who worked effectively with many young players at Inter Milan.

Bruno Fernandes has rejected a £200 million offer from Al-Hilal, along with a £100 million transfer fee, for Man United. The Portuguese midfielder wants to stay at Old Trafford, play in major tournaments that suit his abilities and do what he loves most.
