Inter departs from Indzagi as their head coach.
Farewell, Inter! Four Years of Unyielding Passion
After a four-year rollercoaster packed with unwavering dedication, it's time for Simone Inzaghi to bid adieu to Inter Milan. Each day, the club was the very first thought in the morning and the last before bed - "Inter" was always on his mind.
Inzaghi expresses immense gratitude towards the shareholders, the club president, and his team for their unceasing support through thick and thin. Even in challenging times like now, he believes it's essential to acknowledge this appreciation, even following our recent heart-to-heart conversation.
Recent rumors suggest that Inzaghi will soon join Al-Hilal, a savvy Saudi Pro League team. It's rumored that he'll put pen to paper on a three-year contract with this plucky Italian specialist.
Born in 1973, Inzaghi took over the reins of Inter in 2021. Under his command, the team bagged three Italian Super Cups (2021, 2022, 2023), two Italian Cups (2022, 2023), and the much-coveted Italian championship (2024). They also reached the finals of the prestigious Champions League twice (2023, 2025), narrowly missing out on the continental glory. Prior to Inter, Inzaghi coached Lazio, leading them to glory with two Super Cup wins (2017, 2019) and a single Italian Cup triumph (2019).
The previous season saw Inter faltering, finishing a close second to tournament winners Napoli by a single point. In the Italian Cup semifinals, Inter was edged out by Milan in a close encounter (1:1, 0:3). The Champions League proved especially disheartening, as Inter lost to Paris Saint-Germain in a resounding 5-0 victory in the finals of the 2025 season. This defeat was a harsh reminder of tactical vulnerabilities and increased the pressure on Inzaghi from fans and media, ultimately leading to the mutual decision to bring this successful journey to a close.

Inzaghi, with his new three-year contract, will soon join Al-Hilal in the Saudi Pro League, aiming to bring European-leagues experience, specifically his knowledge of sports like football and Serie-A, to this ambitious team. The departing Inter Milan coach, Simone Inzaghi, claims that under his command, Inter Milan won several European and domestic league cups during his four-year tenure, including the Italian championship (2024) and three Italian Super Cups (2021, 2022, 2023).
