Italian tactician Simone Inzaghi is set to be unveiled as the new head coach of Saudi giants Al Hilal this week, marking a bold new chapter in his managerial career.
The appointment follows Inzaghi’s departure from Inter Milan, where he enjoyed a successful four-year spell, winning one Serie A title, two Coppa Italia trophies, and three Supercoppa Italiana titles.
Despite reaching two UEFA Champions League finals, his reign ended on a sour note with a 5-0 loss to PSG in the recent final.
At Al Hilal, Inzaghi will inherit a squad packed with elite talent, including Rúben Neves, João Cancelo, Kalidou Koulibaly, and Aleksandar Mitrović.
His first major task? Facing Real Madrid in a blockbuster FIFA Club World Cup clash on June 18 is a true test of credentials early in his Saudi journey.
The high-profile hiring is another statement of intent from Al Hilal, who aim to solidify their status as a dominant force in Asian football and beyond.
