The technician is the great protagonist of these hours, his future is still uncertain: a conviction is growing in the Nerazzurri club
Inzaghi, la svolta tanto attesa: cresce una convinzione in casa Inter (LaPresse) – SerieANews.com
Simone Inzaghi has made up his mind. End of doubts, end of waiting, end of crossed phone calls and “we’ll see.” He has informed Inter Milan that he will leave. Al Hilal’s offer is no longer just an Arab attempt: it has become reality. The coach from Piacenza has said yes. After weeks in the balance, with the Nerazzurri club hoping to convince him to stay, the turning point has arrived.
It was not an easy decision. Inzaghi had two paths on the table: to try to restart from a season that ended without a title, with a desire for revenge but also many unknowns in the market, or to accept the courtship of one of the richest and most powerful clubs in the Arab world, ready to cover him in gold to lead a superstar roster. The Champions League final lost badly to PSG had left scars, and those scars have not healed.
In the Inter house, a phase of deep reflection opens. Who will be the new coach? The management will have to choose quickly, because the market looms and the fans, already shaken by the European meltdown, need answers. Names? For now only suggestions, from De Zerbi to Fabregas to the dream Simeone, but it will be President Marotta who will have to decide how to manage this delicate transition.
Il retroscena sull’addio di Inzaghi: la proposta dell’Inter e il no del tecnico
It was not a sudden escape. Already for days Inzaghi had been seriously considering the proposal. Al Hilal had been serious, sending emissaries to Europe and preparing a two-year plan with a monstrous salary and total technical freedom. Inter, for its part, tried to resist, but the scenario became clear in the last hours: the coach no longer believes in the solidity of the Nerazzurri project, fears downsizing and prefers to move on.

For Al Hilal this is a resounding coup. Not only because it hires a coach who is a veteran of two European finals in 3 years and the Star Shield, but also because it snatches from Europe a coach capable of enhancing the squad and giving winning mentality. After the exoneration of Jorge Jesus, the Saudi club accelerated the pace, determined to bring in a strong name. And Inzaghi said yes, ready to move to Arabia and dive into a new adventure.
Inzaghi’s farewell closes an important cycle. He leaves a club to which he gave so much, amid ups and downs, and opens a chapter that will take him to a completely different dimension, under the Gulf sun, where soccer is business, spectacle and status. For Inter, however, it is time to look in the mirror and start again. Because a coach’s farewell is always also a call for change.
