A pivotal afternoon lies ahead for Inter as Simone Inzaghi prepares to meet with club officials to determine whether he will remain at the helm after four seasons. The coach is seriously considering a lucrative offer from Al Hilal, which could see him take on a new challenge in Saudi Arabia.
The potential departure of Inzaghi has triggered immediate action from the Nerazzurri board, who aim to appoint a successor by the end of the week, mindful of the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup. Several candidates have already been contacted, with Cesc Fabregas emerging as the frontrunner. The Spanish coach has earned plaudits for his work at Como and is seen as a fresh and ambitious option.
Also under consideration is Roberto De Zerbi, currently under contract with Marseille. The former Brighton boss is said to be keen on returning to Serie A and would be open to joining Inter.
Ahead of today’s summit, the club has outlined a proposal to persuade Inzaghi to stay: an extension of his contract from 2026 to 2027, along with a €500,000 salary increase. The squad would not undergo a full overhaul, but reinforcements—particularly among the backup players—are planned.
The outcome of the meeting could signal the end of a successful yet turbulent era at Inter, and usher in a new chapter with a bold managerial choice.
