Inter Milan has decided to part ways with Simone Inzaghi, who is close to joining Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal. The Nerazzurri are reportedly lining up for a replacement already, with Como’s boss, Cesc Fabregas, being the main candidate now.
Inzaghi Part Ways with Inter after Champions League Defeat
Just as it was being reported earlier, the former Lazio boss has decided not to continue his adventure with the Nerazzurri after meeting with the club’s board on Tuesday. Both parties agreed to part ways following Inter’s disappointing 5-0 loss to PSG in the UCL final.
According to reports from Fabrizio Romano and Italian media, Inzaghi won’t be out of a job for long. He is reportedly close to joining Al Hilal, as a verbal agreement has been reached with only the signing missing.
Financially, the former striker will be getting a massive improvement as he is set to earn up to $26m per season. Inzaghi’s contract with Al Hilal is initially set up until 202,7 and he will immediately lead them for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup tournament.
Inter Target Young Coach, with Fabregas as Main Candidate
As for the Nerazzurri, they are now gearing up for a new chapter after Inzaghi and are ready to completely change course. Reports suggest that they are eyeing younger coaches, with Cesc Fabregas as their main target for now.
Inter have asked Como for the opportunity to discuss a potential deal with Fabregas, but there’s still no response from I Lariani. The former Arsenal midfielder recently vowed to remain at the Lombardy-based club, but the Nerazzurri’s proposal might be interesting for him.
Aside from Fabregas, another name being mentioned is Marseille’s Roberto De Zerbi, but he has also rejected any link with Inter. De Zerbi is currently happy with his role at Marseille, but things can always change quickly in football.
Nevertheless, changing from Inzaghi, who was continuing what Antonio Conte was building, to Fabregas might be a huge gamble for Inter. The Nerazzurri might need to make more changes in the players’ department if the Como boss agrees to join the Champions League finalist this season.
