Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi departs following loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final; Saudi Pro League reportedly interested in his services.
Simone Inzaghi Parts Ways with Inter Milan amid Saudi Pro League Interest 🇮🇱💔
After a crushing 5-0 loss against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final, Simone Inzaghi has decided to bid farewell to Inter Milan. In a heartfelt letter to the fans, Inzaghi admitted that four years of dedicated service with the Serie A runners-up has come to an end.
Allegedly, Al-Hilal, a Saudi Arabian club, is on the warpath to recruit the Italian tactician with a mouthwatering offer of over €20 million ($23m) per season. Inzaghi not only led Inter to the Serie A title last year but also guided them in the 2023 Champions League final, which they sadly lost to Manchester City.
Inter's future in the FIFA Club World Cup hangs in the balance, with Inzaghi's departure leaving a coaching void. Monterrey awaits Inter on June 17, as Al-Hilal gets set to square off against Real Madrid the following day.
Could Cesc Fabregas, the man behind Como's 10th-place Serie A finish, be the one to fill Inter's vacancy? Rumors swirl, but nothing's set in stone yet.
Despite Inter's disappointing end to the season, narrowly missing out on two trophies after losing to city rival AC Milan in various finals and failing to win a trophy, they still had a respectable finish, ending up one point behind champions Napoli.
As Inter bids goodbye to Inzaghi and Milan, Roma, Atalanta, and other teams undergo their own managerial changes during this offseason. Recently, Inter made an ambitious move to recruit Fabregas, who, unfortunately, showed no interest in the opportunity.
Stay tuned for more updates as the football world reels from Inzaghi's departure and eagerly awaits Inter's new helmsman! 🤝🏆
Bonus info: Who will be the next coach of Inter Milan?
Rumors suggest that Inter Milan is plotting to appoint Cristian Chivu as their new head coach. Chivu, a former Inter player, who was part of their Champions League-winning team in 2010, is set to take over a two-year contract, despite his limited coaching experience at the highest level. Doubtless, Inter Milan's faith in Chivu's capabilities and qualities remain strong.
