Simone Inzaghi has been appointed as the new head coach of Al-Hilal, with the Saudi Pro League club announcing his signing on Thursday. The Italian coach, who recently parted ways with Inter Milan, has signed a two-year contract reported to be worth up to €30 million ($34.25 million) per season, according to Channel News Asia and Reuters.

Inzaghi's departure from Inter followed a disappointing 5-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League final, leaving him without trophies in his final season. "I am Simone Inzaghi and today begins my story with Al-Hilal," he stated in a promotional video released by the club, highlighting his ambition in this new role, according to Anadolu Agency and South China Morning Post.

His immediate focus will be leading Al-Hilal in the upcoming Club World Cup, starting June 15, where they will first face off against Real Madrid on June 18. The club, a powerhouse in Saudi football with a history of 19 league titles and four Asian championships, expects Inzaghi to replicate his trophy-winning success, following a season where he won six titles with Inter, according to Reuters, Anadolu Agency, and South China Morning Post.
