Federico Pastorello, official representative for Al-Hilal head coach Simone Inzaghi, has categorically denied European media reports claiming the Italian manager has decided to leave the Saudi Pro League side at the end of the season.
Speaking to Middle Eastern outlet winwin allsports, Pastorello clarified that rumors suggesting Inzaghi has already informed the board of a departure in June are completely baseless.
What Federico Pastorello Said
“Reports that Inzaghi has already decided to leave Al-Hilal are not true. No decision has been made regarding Inzaghi’s future.”
Context & Contract Situation
- Ongoing Contract: Inzaghi’s contract with the Riyadh-based club, worth a reported €26 million per season, runs through June 2027.
- Rebutting Exit Speculation: Reports circulated in Europe earlier today alleging that the 50-year-old former Inter Milan boss had definitively decided against extending his contract to pursue a return to Serie A or a premier role in the Premier League.
- Current Focus: Pastorello stressed that Inzaghi is entirely committed to Al-Hilal’s title charges across the Saudi Pro League and the AFC Champions League Elite before evaluating long-term plans with the club’s hierarchy.
