Simone Inzaghi’s Future at Inter in Doubt Amid Al Hilal Offer

Inter Milan are having important talks with coach Simone Inzaghi about his future. He has received a big offer from Saudi club Al Hilal. This meeting might change Inzaghi’s and the club’s direction after a rough season.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Inter’s leaders are talking to Inzaghi after the team’s bad 5-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final. This loss means Inter did not win any trophies this season for the first time with Inzaghi. Al Hilal has offered him €30 million a season, which would make him the highest-paid manager in the world. The Inter board is split; some want to extend his contract, but others want a new coach before the FIFA Club World Cup in June.

THE SEASON SO FAR

Inter finished second in the Serie A, failing to defend their league title. Inzaghi led them to the 2023-24 title, two Coppa Italia wins, and two Champions League finals in three years. But the last final’s disappointment and no trophies this season have changed fans’ and officials’ feelings. Inzaghi’s contract runs until 2026, but plans to extend it to 2028 have stopped.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR INTER AND INZAGHI?

The talk’s result will affect Inter’s plans for next season and the Club World Cup. If Inzaghi takes Al Hilal’s offer, Inter must find a new coach fast. They need to be ready for next season, and director Beppe Marotta feels pressure to steady the team. Al Hilal, who won another Saudi Pro League title, wants a top European coach. Inter’s next game is at the Club World Cup, and the meeting’s decision will matter for who leads them there.
