Simone Inzaghi is close to leaving Al Hilal
Al Hilal head coach Simone Inzaghi may leave the Saudi Arabian club at the end of the season. According to Tuttomercatoweb, it is highly likely that the Italian manager will part ways with the team after the final match of the championship.
Several factors are said to be behind the 50-year-old coach's departure. First, Inzaghi has faced criticism because the expensive summer transfers did not yield the expected results. Additionally, the change in club ownership may have also influenced the coaching situation.
Simone Inzaghi had been managing Al Hilal since June 2025. Under his leadership, the team played a total of 51 matches. In these games, Al Hilal secured 37 victories, recorded 12 draws, and suffered only 2 defeats.
At first glance, these statistics look very good. However, for a club with high ambitions like Al Hilal, good figures alone are not enough. The club demands championships, dominance on the international stage, and maximum results from an expensive squad.
Currently, Al Hilal sits in 2nd place in the Saudi Pro League with 81 points. The leaders, Al Nassr, have accumulated 83 points after 33 matches. This means the title race is still intense, but Inzaghi's future is already in doubt.
In short, although Simone Inzaghi has recorded good numbers in Saudi Arabia, the pressure at Al Hilal demands even higher results. If expensive transfers do not pay off, statistics alone cannot save a coach. As they say in Naples, numbers speak in football, but the mood of the management sometimes speaks even louder.
