The 2024-2025 season ended in the worst way for Inter Milan with a 5-0 defeat in the Champions League final. A few weeks earlier, the Lombard club was in the race for a fabulous championship-cup-Champions League treble but everything collapsed. Ultimately leading to the departure of coach Simone Inzaghi, who left to coach Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia. Asked by La Gazzetta dello SportSimone Inzaghi returned to the moment he made his decision.
“The decision, very difficult for me and my family, had not been made (before the final against PSG, editor’s note). Then everything happened very quickly: two days after Munich, we found ourselves at Marotta’s, in the presence of Ausilio and Baccin, and I told them of my desire to leave, because I had the feeling that a cycle had come to an end. They would have liked to keep me, but they understood my choice: we separated on good terms, and we still are. But if we had won the Champions League, I would have stayed at Inter”he explained. The end of a cycle therefore, but not if there had been a victory in the Champions League.
