Simone Inzaghi has touched down in Saudi Arabia and been photographed holding the Al-Hilal jersey, signaling the start of his new role as the team`s head coach. This move comes after Inzaghi`s recent departure from Inter Milan, concluding his four-year stint with the Italian club.
The Italian tactician confirmed his exit from Inter yesterday, following a season that ended without silverware and culminated in a 5-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League Final. Despite this disappointing end, Inzaghi`s tenure at Inter was largely successful.
Lucrative Contract Awaits Inzaghi at Al-Hilal
Reports suggest that Inzaghi is set to sign an incredibly lucrative contract with Al-Hilal, potentially worth €30 million per season including various bonuses. If true, this would make him the highest-paid football coach globally.
Inzaghi departed from Milan today and was later seen posing with the Al-Hilal shirt, officially marking the beginning of his new journey in Saudi Arabia.
Upcoming Challenges for Inzaghi and Al-Hilal
Inzaghi`s coaching career with Al-Hilal will kick off at the Club World Cup in the United States. The team is scheduled to face formidable opponents, including Real Madrid on June 18, followed by matches against RB Salzburg on June 23 and Pachuca on June 27.
This high-profile tournament will provide an immediate test for Inzaghi in his new role, as he aims to make a strong start with the Saudi Arabian club on the global stage.
