Simone Inzaghi left Inter Milan only days after suffering the most humiliating loss in his managerial career.

Per Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, his poorly-managed exit derailed Inter’s spirits ahead of the Champions League final.

Despite earning the club’s unlimited trust, Simone Inzaghi decided to sever ties with the Nerazzurri after four years.

While no one would reproach him for accepting a mega-money contract offer from Al-Hilal, there was a better way to handle things.

Indeed, from this perspective, the 49-year-old was accountable for Inter’s 5-0 rout at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain.

Like Jose Mourinho, Inzaghi left the San Siro shortly after guiding the team to the Champions League final.

However, there was a crucial difference.

Unlike Mourinho, who was straightforward with the team, Inzaghi chose to keep everyone in the dark.

Yet, writings were on the wall, and everyone could’ve noticed something was going on behind the scenes.

Despite fears and anxiety, Inzaghi never clarified his decision. But many players knew, which was evident in Munich.
