Inzaghi Takes the reins: Al-Hilal’s New Coach Aims for Championship glory
Updated June 17, 2025
Al-Hilal, seeking to reclaim its dominance in the Saudi Pro League, has appointed Inzaghi as its new coach. the move comes after a disappointing season where Al-Hilal finished second, eight points behind Al-Ittihad, and following the dismissal of Jorge Jesus after the team’s exit from the Asian Champions League Elite semi-finals. The club views the new coach’s role as pivotal in restoring their championship-winning form.
Al-Hilal’s director, Calzada, emphasized the significance of the appointment. “it might look like it’s something that came quickly, but it’s the result of hard work,” Calzada said.
The appointment occurred shortly after Inzaghi’s former club, Inter Milan, lost the Champions League final against PSG. Calzada noted Inzaghi’s professionalism during negotiations. “He was playing a massive match and asked [us] to keep things aside until after the final; it was decided but not signed before the final, just because out of respect he asked us to wait, which is certainly fair enough,” Calzada added.
Al-Hilal is preparing to compete in the Club World Cup, where they will face real Madrid in a rematch of the 2022 final. Real Madrid previously defeated Al-Hilal 5-3 in Morocco. Vinicius Jnr and Federico Valverde each scored twice for Real Madrid, with Karim Benzema, now with Al-Ittihad, also scoring. Al-Hilal’s goals came from Moussa Marega and two from Luciano Vietto.
Calzada sees the Club World Cup as a crucial opportunity. “It’s a huge opportunity for us to show our product, [and] to also test our level as well, because we don’t have so many opportunities,” Calzada said. He added, “We’re not here to exchange shirts with Real Madrid players, or only for the exposure.”
Calzada expressed confidence in the team’s prospects. “We have a very talented squad, with the addition of a world-renowned new coach with us and with that we go to the tournament with the maximum ambition.”
What’s next
with Inzaghi at the helm, Al-hilal aims to quickly integrate the new coach’s strategies and prepare for a strong showing in both the domestic league and the upcoming Club World cup. The team is focused on reclaiming its position as the top club in Saudi Arabia and making a statement on the international stage.
