Simone Inzaghi Begins New Era at Al Hilal and Targets Major Signings

Simone Inzaghi has started his first day as Al Hilal’s head coach. He is already working on strengthening the team for the new season. The Italian manager and his staff are looking at new players. They expect two or three signings in the next few days.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Inzaghi left Inter Milan after their big Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. Now, he is in charge of Al Hilal. The club announced his appointment this week. His contract is until 2027. On his first day, Inzaghi and his team began work. They started looking for new players right away. Reports say Al Hilal is bidding for stars like AC Milan’s Theo Hernandez and Napoli’s Victor Osimhen. Both players are unsure about leaving Europe, but Al Hilal is pushing hard to sign them before the FIFA Club World Cup starts this month.

AL HILAL’S AMBITIONS AND RECENT FORM

Al Hilal finished second in the Saudi Pro League last season. They just missed out on the title. The club hired Inzaghi to help them win the league again. They also want to compete globally. Inzaghi did well at Inter, winning six trophies and reaching the Champions League final twice. Al Hilal hopes his experience will help them when they play Real Madrid in the Club World Cup on June 18.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR INZAGHI AND AL HILAL?

With the Club World Cup coming up, Inzaghi needs to quickly settle his staff and strengthen the squad. The club is rushing to sign two or three key players. They are negotiating with stars from Europe. Al Hilal plays Real Madrid on June 18. It is a big game against the current La Liga and Champions League winners. Al Hilal is just one point ahead of third-placed Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League. A strong performance against Real Madrid can kickstart the Inzaghi era.
