Fabrizio Romano reports the former Italy striker will depart Inter and take over as manager of Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal.

Inzaghi, 49, spent the past four seasons at the helm of the Nerazzurri, winning two Coppas Italia and a Scudetto. Inter finished as runners-up to Paris Saint-Germain in this past weekend's Champions League Final. Inzaghi was named Serie A Coach of the Year in 2024.
A native of Piacenza, Inzaghi will succeed former Benfica and Sporting manager Jorge Jesus, who was sacked by Al-Hilal last month.
The runners-up in this Saudi Pro League this past season, Al-Hilal features familiar names like Kalidou Koulibaly, Ruben Neves, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Joao Cancelo.
Prior to joining Inter in 2021, Inzaghi five seasons as manager of Lazio. As a player, Inzaghi spent a majority of his 16-year career with Lazio, winning the Scudetto in 2000.
Inzaghi is the younger brother of legendary Juventus and Milan striker Pippo Inzaghi, who currently manages promoted side Pisa.
