Simone Inzaghi’s future was reported to be uncertain, with ongoing speculation about whether he would remain in Italy or accept a move to Saudi Arabia. In Italy, it was said that attention was centered on an upcoming meeting between the coach and Inter’s management, during which both parties were expected to assess the viability of continuing their collaboration. Meanwhile, it was reported that the Saudi Pro League expressed growing confidence that Inzaghi was poised to join Al Hilal.
Meanwhile Saudi newspapers are reporting that Inzaghi had already signed a two-year contract with Al Hilal and was expected to meet with the club on Tuesday to begin planning for the Club World Cup and the upcoming season, with his official appointment as head coach reportedly scheduled for the following week.
However, these reports did not definitively rule out the possibility of Inzaghi remaining at Inter. Although Al Hilal’s offer was believed to be genuine, substantial, and financially attractive, it was noted that Inzaghi had not yet reached a final decision.
Despite the retraction, the possibility of his departure from Inter was believed to remain strong. In fact, the likelihood of his exit was far from negligible, with some reports even indicating that discussions about potential successors had already quietly begun.
In Saudi Arabia, anticipation of Inzaghi’s arrival was reportedly high. Just a week earlier, it had been claimed that all necessary preparations were in place. Additional reports suggested that initial contact had been made as early as mid-April, and that one of Inzaghi’s family members had already visited Riyadh to explore the city, review the club’s facilities, and assess potential housing options.
