Crunch Meeting Over – Simone Inzaghi Decides To Leave Inter Milan For Saudi Arabia | OneFootball

A crunch meeting between Inter Milan and Simone Inzaghi has just ended, with the coach deciding to leave San Siro.

Per Gazzetta dello Sport, the 49-year-old has accepted a lucrative contract proposal from Al-Hilal.

Therefore, Simone Inzaghi will cut his four-year association with the Nerazzurri effective immediately.

Indeed, he will join the Saudi Pro League giants on a two-year deal worth an eye-watering €50 million.

On the other hand, Beppe Marotta and his associates must work swiftly to find a suitable replacement.

Como boss Cesc Fabregas has emerged as a frontrunner to take the job.

Inzaghi, who replaced Antonio Conte at the helm in 2021, inspired Inter to six major titles, including a landmark 20th Scudetto.

Furthermore, he steered the club to two Champions League finals in three years, albeit he lost both.

Paris Saint-Germain’s thumping 5-0 win in the Munich showpiece last weekend was the final straw.

As a result, the ex-Lazio manager will continue his career in the desert.

His imminent departure means Inter must hire a suitable replacement, and Fabregas is the leading candidate.

However, other options, such as Roberto De Zerbi, remain on the table.
