Report – Inter Milan Sporting Director Turns Down Al-Hilal Offer | OneFootball

Inter Milan Sporting Director Piero Ausilio has reportedly turned down an offer to join Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal.

This according to today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInter1908.

Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal have already brought in one huge name from Inter Milan.

At the start of June, the gulf state club appointed Simone Inzaghi as coach. The 49-year-old stepped down from Inter after four years at the helm.

And now, Tuttosport reports, Al-Hilal have been trying to bring in another notable name from Inter.

Al-Hilal are currently looking for a new Sporting Director.

One of the major candidates has been Benfica Sporting Director Rui Pedro Braz. He is set to leave the Lisbon giants in September.

Meanwhile, ex-Juventus and Napoli Sporting Director Cristiano Giuntoli is another name that AL-Hilal sounded out. However, he turned down the offer, not wanting to leave Italy.

Then, Tuttosport report, former Monaco and Newcastle United executive Paul Mitchell was yet another target.

But recently, Al-Hilal have also sounded out Inter Sporting Director Piero Ausilio.

There would be a certain undeniable logic to this move. After all, Ausilio worked successfully with Inzaghi for four years.

However, according to Tuttosport, Ausilio closed the door to the Saudi club.
