Simone Inzaghi reportedly decided to leave Inter and accept Al Hilal's offer even before the Champions League final debacle against Paris Saint Germain.
This is the background story, published, among others, by Corriere della Sera which cites Arab sources on the farewell to the Nerazzurri of the coach , fresh from, like Lautaro and his teammates, the 5-0 defeat without appeal in the super challenge in Munich on 31 May.
Not only that: «In yesterday's consensual termination with Inter – writes the Corriere – a “non-belligerence pact” was decided on the market, but according to Arab insiders, Inzaghi had asked Al Hilal for one of his most loyal players: Bastoni, the first choice, said no, as did Barella. Acerbi remained in the mix, and therefore he will not leave», precisely because of the aforementioned “non-belligerence” clause.
According to sources, Inzaghi also had a face-to-face meeting with emissaries of the Arab team the day before the final.
A destiny that was already written, that of the coach, then? Away from Milan regardless of the result . Which then, as we know, did not reward the Nerazzurri, even turning into a defeat .
