Inter Milan ‘Embarrassed’ & ‘Disappointed’ After Simone Inzaghi Bizarre Farewell | OneFootball

Simone Inzaghi was on his way to become a cult hero at Inter Milan before tarnishing his legacy down the final stretch.

Per Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the 49-year-old’s controversial exit left everyone at the club ’embarrassed’ and ‘disappointed.’

Al-Hilal convinced Simone Inzaghi to halt his four-year stint at the San Siro with a lucrative contract proposal.

However, the timing couldn’t have been any worse.

Indeed, the parties opened talks over Inzaghi’s switch to Saudi Arabia on the eve of the Champions League final.

Needless to say, Inter regretted heading to Munich.

Though it’s hard to blame Inzaghi for accepting Al-Hilal’s monstrous offer, there was seemingly a more suitable way for him to leave.

However, his behavior in the days before the final was inappropriate and directly influenced the outcome at the Allianz Arena.

In addition to negotiating terms with the Saudis behind Inter’s back, Inzaghi didn’t have the courage to admit.

Despite being constantly pressured by the media, Inzaghi was always tight-lipped until it was too late.

He let the club down in arguably the most important game of his managerial career.

Therefore, the bitterness surrounding his exit isn’t just about the timing – it’s about the sense of betrayal.
