Al-Hilal name former Inter Milan boss Simone Inzaghi as new coach

RIYADH: Al-Hilal announced Simone Inzaghi as their new head coach on Thursday.

The announcement was made in a video posted to the club's X account shortly after midnight.

“My name is Simone Inzaghi. And today begins my story with Al-Hilal,” he says at the end of the 40 second clip that shows him doing up his shoes, putting on his watch and adjusting his tie while wearing his familiar black suit. 

Inzaghi’s Inter Milan team suffered a humiliating 5-0 defeat at the hands of PSG in Saturday’s Champions League final, prompting the Italian to step down.
