Simone Inzaghi has decided to sever ties with Inter Milan after four years and continue his managerial career at Al-Hilal.
Per Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, a lack of energy has been the main reason behind the 49-year-old’s decision.
Despite Inter’s genuine attempt to tie the former Lazio coach to a new contract, the Nerazzurri will start next season with a new manager.
Indeed, Simone Inzaghi will switch to the Saudi Pro League, with Al-Hilal set to hand him over the reins.
However, the Italian tactician will receive no severance pay from the San Siro outfit.
It’s also worth noting he never asked for that.
Meanwhile, Inter will not cash in on Inzaghi’s exit as he’ll join Al-Hilal without any compensation fee.
On the other hand, Inter will vie for Como boss Cesc Fabregas to fill the vacancy.
Talks with the Spaniard are already underway, with Beppe Marotta eager to close the agreement on short notice.
Simone Inzaghi Leaves Inter Milan Because He Has No More Energy
Inter Milan and Inzaghi had a crunch meeting yesterday.
The Scudetto-winning manager seized the occasion to explain his decision to halt his four-year stay at San Siro.
“I no longer have the energy to continue,” Inzaghi reportedly told the club hierarchy.
“I can’t go on anymore. I’m tired, and I believe my cycle here has come to an end.”
More importantly, Inzaghi has promised not to approach Inter star players.
Indeed, he will not try to deplete the Nerazzurri squad this summer.
That’s quite significant, considering Al-Hilal’s interest in standout midfielder Nicolo Barella.
Furthermore, they’ve been keeping close tabs on Alessandro Bastoni.
However, the Serie A giants are reluctant to sell their two prized assets, especially the Italian defender.
There’s a chance for some fringe players to join Inzaghi in Saudi Arabia, but it’s all theory for now.
Let them bring 100m each for Bastoni and Barella, and we’re good
