Simone Inzaghi Decided To Swap Inter Milan For Al-Hilal Even Before Champions League Final | OneFootball

Scudetto-winning manager Simone Inzaghi is on the verge of taking over Al-Hilal after halting his four-year stint at Inter Milan.

Per Corriere della Sera via FCinter1908, the 49-year-old had made up his mind even before the Champions League.

Paris Saint-Germain humbled the Nerazzurri in a humiliating Munich showpiece last weekend.

Indeed, Luis Enrique’s high-flying side thumped the Serie A runners-up 5-0 en route to their maiden Champions League title.

Though it was a remarkable performance from PSG, Inter’s lackluster approach facilitated the French team’s road to victory.

Despite refusing to comment on his future in the pre-match conference, Simone Inzaghi unintentionally gave a hint at his decision.

He met Al-Hilal chiefs in the build-up to the most significant fixture in Inter’s recent history.

Therefore, the question emerges – could’ve he timed the meeting more poorly?

You didn’t have to look beyond Nicolo Barella’s facial expression to understand what was going on behind the scenes.

Indeed, the squad took the field bereft of confidence and seemingly fazed by Inzaghi’s uncertain future.

As such, the ex-Lazio manager may be the only culprit for Inter’s embarrassment in Munich.
