Simone Inzaghi has decided to leave his post as manager of Saudi Professional League club Al Hilal upon the expiration of his contract at the conclusion of the season.
The 50-year-old tactician took the reins in Riyadh following a difficult 5-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the 2024/25 Champions League final during his tenure at Inter Milan. His lucrative deal with Al Hilal spans until July 2027 and reportedly pays him 26 million euros per season, according to Flashscore.fr.
The decision not to extend his stay in the Saudi Pro League was first reported by journalist Nicolo Schira, confirming that Inzaghi will depart when his current agreement concludes. During his time in the Middle East, Inzaghi has already captured the King’s Cup. His squad currently sits at the top of the domestic table, accumulating 30 points from their first 11 matches of the campaign.
Speculation regarding the manager’s next destination remains entirely open as the European domestic schedules unfold. Earlier in October, both Juventus and Napoli were mentioned in dispatches as potential landing spots for the Italian manager when he eventually returns to European football.
