His final game in charge saw his side get demolished by Luis Enrique's Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League final. Despite the loss, there were reports that the club is planning to keep their manager, with club President Beppe Marotta stating that the Italian is welcome to stay and that the club wants to do so.
However, less than a week since the defeat, Inzaghi has decided to part ways with the club.
In an official statement made on the Inter website, Inzaghi said, "The time has come for me to say goodbye to this Club after a four-year-long journey, throughout which I gave my all."
Shortly afterwards, his next destination was also revealed. In a post on X, Al-Hilal's official handle announced the arrival of the 'Italian genius'. Featuring in the Saudi Pro League, the club finished the league campaign in second spot behind Al-Ittihad. In the last five seasons, Al-Hilal has ended the season on top in three years.
Who will replace Inzaghi at Inter?

While a void opens up in dugout for Simone Inzaghi's replacement, it appears that the club has already set their sights on a heir.
As per reports, Como head coach and former FC Barcelona man Cesc Fabregas is the primary choice for the management. The 38-year-old led Serie A side Como to a 10th placed finish after earning them promotion in the previous season after a second placed finish in Serie B.
Poll
Do you think Inter made the right decision to part ways with Simone Inzaghi?
Yes, it was time for a change No, they should have continued with him
If the deal materializes, the Spaniard will have a large hole to fill. Inzaghi, in his four years with the club won them a Serie A title, two Coppa Italia's and three Italian Super Cups. He also led them to two Champions League finals in the space of two years (2023 and 2025).

Pointing out that the gates of the Jama Masjid have been 'locked again', PDP leader Iltija Mufti said, 'Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has been put under house arrest again. I want to ask the NC government and the LG why Mirwaiz is still being placed under house arrest when you claim everything is normal. As India's only and the largest Muslim majority state, we Kashmiris have the right to worship... More than infrastructure, we need dignity and security of life.' After offering prayers, PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti said she also offered prayers for the people of Palestine. 'We pray that Palestine is soon free from the atrocities being committed by Israel. Unfortunately, the government, on this pious day, has denied permission to offer namaz in the Jama Masjid, and Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has been put under house arrest... I protest against the state government also, which is just watching everything and doing nothing,' former J-K Chief Minister said.
