Simone Inzaghi Bids Heartfelt Farewell To Inter Milan Ahead Of Saudi Arabia Move | OneFootball

Simone Inzaghi has bid farewell to the Inter Milan faithful after deciding to leave the club for Saudi Arabia.

In an official statement released by Inter.it, the 49-year-old sent a heartfelt message to the Nerazzurri fans.

Despite Inter’s hopes of trying Simone Inzaghi down to a new long-term deal, the parties will go separate ways.

Indeed, Al-Hilal’s stratospheric contract offer has proved too tempting for the former Lazio coach.

He will earn around €50 million for a two-year deal in Riyadh. Therefore, it would make him one of the world’s highest-paid managers.

Meanwhile, he leaves the San Siro with a few regrets.

Though he won the Serie A title last season and five other major domestic trophies, Inzaghi couldn’t conquer the Champions League.

He helped the 20-time Italian champions qualify for two finals in the last three years, only to lose both.

Unfortunately, Paris Saint-Germain thrashed his team 5-0 in this season’s showpiece in Munich.

It proved Inzaghi’s final game in charge.

“Dear Nerazzurri family,” the message starts.

“The time has come for me to say goodbye to this club after a four-year journey, during which I gave everything.

“Every day I dedicated my first and last thought of the day to Inter. I was reciprocated with professionalism and passion by players, managers and every single employee of the club.

“The six trophies won, including the Second Star Scudetto, together with the path in the Uefa Champions League in 2023 and a few days ago.

“It’s a tangible testimony to how much my work has been supported by a communion of intent with my staff and with every member of Inter.

“I thank the shareholders for the trust that has never been lacking, the President and his collaborators for their daily help and dialogue.

“On a difficult day like today, I think it is right to reiterate this sense of gratitude also for the discussion that ended a short time ago.

“We were sincere and decided together to conclude this magnificent journey.

“I want to dedicate one last word to the millions of Nerazzurri fans who cheered me on, cried and suffered in difficult moments.

“We laughed and celebrated in the six triumphs we experienced together.

“I will never forget you.
