The adventure in Saudi Arabia will begin very soon: the Italian coach will embark on a trip to Miami this weekend, as in Florida his new club will make its debut in the Club World Cup against Real Madrid, on June 18.

Inzaghi (born 9/8/1973)'s decision was determined by intense disappointment after the 5-0 defeat by Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final, but even more by the feeling of fatigue after a long and stressful cycle. Which ended with a heavy defeat but also with Inter leading the way in Italy and Europe.

Inzaghi is one of the coaches with the most matches in the club's history, after Helenio Herrera, Roberto Mancini, Giovanni Trapattoni and José Mourinho.

Simone Inzaghi stressed in his farewell message:

"Every day I dedicated my first and last thought to Inter. The players, the coaches and every employee of the club reciprocated with professionalism and passion.

The six trophies won, including the Scudetto della Seconda Stella, along with the run to the UEFA Champions League in 2023 and a few days ago, are tangible proof of how much my work has been supported by the common intention with my staff and with every member of Inter.

I thank the shareholders for their trust that has never been lacking, the Chairman and his associates for their daily help and dialogue. On a difficult day like today, I consider it right to repeat this feeling of gratitude and for the discussion that concluded a moment ago. We were honest and together we decided to complete this wonderful journey.

I want to dedicate a final word to the millions of Nerazzurri fans who cheered me on, cried and suffered in the difficult moments, laughed and celebrated the six triumphs we experienced together.”

President Beppe Marotta said:

“On behalf of our shareholder, Oaktree, and the entire club, I would like to thank Simone Inzaghi for the work he did, for the passion he showed, but also for the honesty in today’s discussion, which led to the joint decision to part ways. Only when we have fought together to succeed every day can we have a sincere dialogue like the one that took place today,” said president Giuseppe Marotta at the end of the meeting.

Candidates

For the Lombards, the second phase of history now begins: the new coach. The choice must and will be very quick, since on June 11 the "Nerazuri" club will depart for Los Angeles and the Club World Cup.

The favorite for the bench is the Spaniard, Cesc Fabregas, contractually linked to Como, for whom steps had already been taken a few days ago, immediately after the last matchday of the championship. In second place is the name of the Italian, Roberto De Zerbi, who, however, on Tuesday morning fortified himself behind the statement "no club called me". In any case, the truth will be revealed soon...

Third on the list is the Romanian, Christian Chivu, who saved Parma from relegation this year, as well as the French coach of Genoa, Patrick Vieira, who also played an important role in saving his team.

Inzaghi sat on the Inter bench for 217 matches, with a record of 141 wins, 41 draws and 35 losses. During this period, Inter won six trophies: the league in the 2023/2024 season, two Coppa Italias (2021/2022 and 2022/2023) and finally three Supercoppa Italiana (2021, 2022 and 2023) while the Nerazzurri reached two UEFA Champions League finals.
