Simone Inzaghi departs for Saudi Arabia with an impressive trophy cabinet, including a Serie A title, two Coppa Italia trophies, three Italian Super Cups, and two Champions League runner-up medals, following a successful yet ultimately disappointing stint at Inter Milan.

With just weeks left in the season, Inzaghi's Inter led the Scudetto charge and were favored to win the Champions League, with only PSG standing between them and the title. However, a domestic slip-up against Lazio allowed Napoli to snatch the league title, and a crushing 5-0 loss to PSG in the Champions League final dashed their hopes.
