Simone Inzaghi hints at Inter Milan exit this summer

Simone Inzaghi has suggested he could leave Inter Milan this summer following the disappointing Champions League final loss to Paris Saint-Germain.

Inzaghi, regarded as one of the best coaches in world football, has been in charge of the Serie A giants since 2021.

The 49-year-old has led the club to clinch several trophies, including a Serie A title, however, he has lost the Champions League final twice in the last three years.

The Italian coach was devastated after the humiliating defeat to PSG and hinted he could leave Inter, amid interest from Al-Hilal, Newcastle United, and Tottenham.

Speaking to reporters, Simone Inzaghi said: “As I was saying before to your colleague, I cannot answer this question now. I came here out of respect for you, for politeness, because I am hurting from a sporting point of view.

“It’s not the right time to talk about the future. We are extremely disappointed, and since July of last year we’ve played 58 or 59 games, we got to this final match, so it’s awkward to talk about my future now.

“Again, we are extremely disappointed. We will be talking about the fact that we won no silverware this year, but these players deserve great credit because they gave it their very best shot, and we suffered a lot of injuries. I wouldn’t change these players for anyone else.”

Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal are reportedly leading the race over Spurs and the Magpies as they look to appoint a top-quality head coach before the Club World Cup next month.

Journalist Tancredi Palmeri told talkSPORT: “The situation is that Al Hilal offered him £25million per season for two seasons.

“I can tell you that he had advanced contacts with both Newcastle and Tottenham, but at the same time, the priority for him is to stay at Inter.

“Obviously, if we talk on a financial level, nobody can compete with the salary that Al Hilal are offering.

“But the Premier League is always a great temptation, and at the same time, I must tell you that Inzaghi already rejected Liverpool last summer and Manchester United in October.”

Inter Milan will return to action next month in the US as they take on Club Monterrey in their Club World Cup opener on June 18.
