Simone Inzaghi has decided to leave Al Hilal when his contract expires at the end of the season.

According to transfer expert Nicolò Schira, the former Inter and Lazio coach won’t extend his deal with the Saudi club. It runs until June and is worth a reported €26m a year.

Inzaghi moved to Riyadh in the summer of 2025, a few days after Inter lost the Champions League final. His time in Saudi Arabia has been a mix of success and frustration. He won the King’s Cup last season but missed out on the league title on the final day, when Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr took the crown.

Al Hilal also went 47 matches unbeaten under the Italian before NEOM ended the run in September.

His decision is sure to bring talk of a return to Serie A, where he won a Scudetto, two Coppa Italia titles and three Supercoppa Italiana trophies at Inter, and reached two Champions League finals. Reports in October suggested Juventus and Napoli could be options, along with interest from the Premier League.
