Inzaghi nearing Al Hilal exit despite outstanding results

Simone Inzaghi’s tenure at Al Hilal may be approaching an unexpected conclusion, with several Saudi outlets, echoed by A Bola, reporting that the Italian coach is close to leaving the club after only one season. The news comes as a surprise given his exceptional record since arriving in June 2025, producing 37 wins, 12 draws and only two defeats across all competitions. However, criticism surrounding the club’s summer transfer business has reportedly weakened his position, with several expensive signings failing to meet expectations.

The recent change in ownership has further complicated matters, introducing new strategic priorities that may not align with Inzaghi’s vision. Local sources now describe the separation as increasingly likely and almost inevitable. The turbulence is not limited to Al Hilal, as A Bola also reported that Jorge Jesus could depart Al Nassr, signalling a summer of major shifts within Saudi football, where ambition remains high and pressure on elite coaches continues to intensify.
