Simone Inzaghi Steps Down After Champions League Heartbreak: A New Era Begins for Inter Milan
After the disastrous finale, Inter Coach Inzaghi remains uncertain about his future plans. - In aftermath of last defeat, Coach Inzaghi hints at uncertain future plans.
In the aftermath of Inter Milan's devastating 0-5 loss against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final, Simone Inzaghi has decided to step down as the club's coach, leaving the future of the Italians uncertain. Stung by this defeat, Inzaghi was evasive about leading the team in the upcoming Club World Cup, only stating, "I can't offer an answer for that right now. I'm just seething after this loss."
Cloaked Offer from Saudi Arabia
Rumors circulate that Inzaghi has received a breathtaking offer from the Saudi Pro League's Al-Hilal, a two-year contract reportedly worth upwards of €50 million. Despite his contract with Inter running until 2026, Inzaghi maintains his contentment with it.
Before the Club World Cup, which kicks off in two weeks in the United States, Inzaghi has shown disinterest in discussing his future with Inter. "Bitterness grips me at the moment," he admits. "It doesn't make sense to discuss the future today."

Statements from the club hardly quell doubts about Inzaghi's future with the Nerazzurri. "Inzaghi still has a year left on his contract," reveals President Giuseppe Marotta. "If he chooses to stay, we would welcome it with open arms." This humiliating 0-5 has had "no impact whatsoever" on evaluating Inzaghi's work with the team over the past four years. Discussions between club leadership and Inzaghi are slated to take place early next week.
Inter's upper echelons, led by US investor Oaktree, remain hopeful that Inzaghi will remain with the team for a fifth season. His leadership guided Inter to the Champions League final for the second time in three years, winning the title in 2024. This season, they came within a single point of Serie A champions SSC Napoli.
"We understand that we have a powerful team at our disposal," says Inzaghi in the dark shadows of Munich. "We have secured two new signings, but more are needed to go further."
Summertime Struggles
The loss still stings for the Milanese as they digest the bitter taste of defeat. "The energy and endurance we usually swarmed the Champions League with, we simply didn't have today," laments the unfortunate former Bayern goalkeeper Yann Sommer. Moving forward, acceptance of this loss and looking ahead to the Club World Cup becomes crucial. Whether Inzaghi will guide his team from the sidelines during that competition remains questionable.
