Al Hilal Targets Simone Inzaghi Ahead of 2025 Club World Cup

Al Hilal — Saudi Arabia’s most successful football club with 19 domestic league titles — has set its sights on a major revamp ahead of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, which will take place in the United States.

The global tournament, set from June 14 to July 13, will adopt a new 32-team format, making it the first-ever edition of such scale in Club World Cup history.

Al Hilal Eyes Inzaghi to Lead New Era

The “Blue Waves” are now targeting Simone Inzaghi as their top candidate to fill the vacant head coach position. The Italian manager’s future at Inter Milan has come under scrutiny following his side’s Champions League final defeat to Paris Saint-Germain just two days ago.

Should Al Hilal succeed, it would mark a strategic appointment meant to elevate their global ambitions under the new Club World Cup structure.

Eyes On Glory and Redemption

Having failed to retain the Saudi Pro League title this season, Al Hilal is determined to reclaim their dominance — this time on the international stage. The club aims to become the first team to win the Club World Cup under the new expanded format, signaling their readiness to compete against top clubs from every continent.
