The Italian Simone Inzaghi was announced on Thursday (5) as new coach of Al Hilal, from Saudi Arabia, shortly after directing Inter Milan in his heavy defeat in the Champions League final.
“The Italian genius is here,” Al Hilal in the X published, with a video about the coach. “Welcome, Simone Inzaghi”.
The coach joins the Saudi League team of Riyadh weeks before the beginning of his participation in the renewed club world, to be held in the United States.
“I’m Simone Inzaghi, and today it starts my story with Al Hilal,” he says in the video message, in which he appears having Arab coffee and holding the Saudi club’s brooch in the lapel of the suit.
Under Inzaghi’s command, Inter was beaten on Saturday (31) 5-0 by Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final.
The 49 -year -old coach has led Inter to a Serie A title and two Italy Cups since he arrived at the Lombard club in 2021.
He took the team to two Championship finals, but lost both.
Inzaghi ruled out rumors that he would have a 50 million euros agreement (R $ 321.7 million) to direct Al Hilal for two years.
