Inzaghi changes to Saudi Arabia: Al-Hilal fetches Italian genius!

Trainer Simone Inzaghi has found a new challenge. After a disappointing 0: 5 defeat in the Champions League final against Paris St. Germain, the previous coach from Inter Milan will continue his career in Saudi Arabia. Inzaghi changes to Al-Hilal and has thus signed a contract by the end of the 2027 season. The annual salary is expected to be $ 25 million (approx. 21.96 million euros), which would make Inzaghi one of the highest paid trainers worldwide because he succeeds the dismissed Portuguese Jorge Jesus. Al-Hilal was referred to as an "great opportunity" for Inzaghi, who has been looking for the club for a long time.

This has reached another Italian football size in the Saudi Arab league. Al-Hilal confirmed the obligation in a short film on social networks with the note: "The Italian genius is here." Inzaghi's debut as a trainer will take place on June 18, 2025 in a prestigious duel against Real Madrid at the FIFA Club World Cup in the USA. In the group phase, Al-Hilal also meets Pachuca and Red Bull Salzburg, which they will challenge on June 23 (MESZ).

The way to al-hilal

Inzaghi, who had been a coach of Inter Milan since 2021 and had previously worked for Lazio Rome for five years, said in an interview that the decision to work abroad had long matured. The separation of Inter Milan was described as "mutual", with Inzaghi emphasizing mutual respect and affection for his former club. "Inter will always be in my thoughts," continues Inzaghi.

After the difficult defeat in the Champions League final, in addition to the sporting motivation, personal reasons for the change could have played a role. According to reports, both the disappointment about the final defeat and the fatigue after a long term of office are considerations that led to Inzaghi's decision.

a new section in Saudi Arabia

With the signature at Al-Hilal, a new section begins for Inzaghi in his coaching career. The club is not only considered in Saudi Arabia, but also internationally and has celebrated many successes over the years. Inzaghi will now assume the challenge of leading Al-Hilal back to the top of international football and further promoting its ambitions.

his first appearance on the big stage, the game against Real Madrid, is expected with great tension. The football world will see closely how the Italian coach will assert himself in the Saudi professional league.
