Simone Inzaghi to Depart Al Hilal Following Contract Expiration
Simone Inzaghi has confirmed his intention to leave Al Hilal when his contract concludes at the end of the season. According to transfer expert Nicolò Schira, the former Inter and Lazio head coach will not renew his agreement with the Saudi club, which is set to run until June and is reportedly valued at €26 million per year.
Inzaghi joined Al Hilal in the summer of 2025, shortly after Inter lost in the Champions League final. His tenure in Saudi Arabia has been characterized by both successes and challenges. While he led the team to victory in the King’s Cup last season, they fell short of securing the league title on the final day of the season, with Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr coming out on top.
JEDDAH, SAUDI ARABIA – APRIL 13: Simone Inzaghi, team manager of Al Hilal FC, oversaw the AFC Champions League Elite match against Al Sadd SC at Prince Abdullah AlFaisal Sports City on April 13, 2026.
Under Inzaghi’s management, Al Hilal achieved an impressive unbeaten streak of 47 matches until that run ended in September. His decision to exit is likely to fuel speculation regarding a possible return to Serie A, where he previously enjoyed significant success, including winning one Scudetto and multiple domestic trophies with Inter. Reports have emerged suggesting that clubs such as Juventus and Napoli may be interested in his services, alongside potential interest from teams in the Premier League.
