Simone Inzaghi’s time at the San Siro has come to an end.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the former Italy striker will leave Inter and become the manager of Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal.

Inzaghi is set to sign a two-year contract worth an eye-watering €26 million per season.

The 49-year-old coach spent the past four seasons leading the Nerazzurri, securing two Coppa Italia titles and a Scudetto. Inter finished as runners-up to Paris Saint-Germain in this past weekend’s Champions League Final. Inzaghi was also named Serie A Coach of the Year in 2024.

A native of Piacenza, Inzaghi will succeed former Benfica and Sporting manager Jorge Jesus, who was sacked by Al-Hilal last month.

The runners-up in this Saudi Pro League this past season, Al-Hilal features familiar names like Kalidou Koulibaly, Ruben Neves, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Joao Cancelo.

Prior to joining Inter in 2021, Inzaghi five seasons as manager of Lazio. As a player, Inzaghi spent a majority of his 16-year career with Lazio, winning the Scudetto in 2000.

Inzaghi is the younger brother of legendary Juventus and Milan striker Pippo Inzaghi, who currently manages promoted side Pisa.
