Italian media reports say Simone Inzaghi has no plans to extend his Al Hilal contract, which expires next June, meaning he will leave the team at the end of the season if he does not change his stance. Italian journalist Nicolo Schira reported the information, noting that the coach’s annual salary is estimated at around 26 million euros.

Inzaghi joined Al Hilal in the summer of 2025 after Inter lost the Champions League final. During his spell, he led the team to victory in the King’s Cup, but did not win the Saudi league title, which was decided in the final round in favor of Al Nassr. Al Hilal also went unbeaten in 47 consecutive matches under his leadership before the run ended with a defeat to Neom in September.

Inzaghi’s move could open the door to a return to the Italian league. Reports have previously linked him with the Juventus or Napoli jobs and pointed to potential interest from clubs in the English league. With Inter, the coach won the Italian league, the Italian Cup twice and the Italian Super Cup three times, and reached the Champions League final twice.
