Report – Ex Inter Milan Manager Considered As Potential Gennaro Gattuso Successor As Italy National Team Coach Former Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi could reportedly replace Gennaro Gattuso as a new head coach of the Italy national team. According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews , the current Al-Hilal boss is in contention for the Azzurri job amid an uncertain future in Riyadh. Simone Inzaghi left Inter to take charge of the Saudi Pro League giants last summer.

Indeed, after winning two Serie A titles with the Nerazzurri, the 50-year-old decided to leave his homeland for the riches of Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, Inter turned to Cristian Chivu to fill the vacant spot in the dugout, with the Romanian now on the verge of winning the Scudetto. Former Inter Milan Coach Simone Inzaghi in Contention for Italy Job Inzaghi could sever ties with Al-Hilal after just one season, with the Blue Waves set to miss out on a landmark 20th league title.

Despite going unbeaten in all 28 league games in charge of the club, Inzaghi is trailing runaway leaders Al-Nassr by five points. Therefore, his adventure in the desert could soon come to an end. Meanwhile, he could take charge of the Azzurri after Gattuso stepped down in the wake of Italy’s heartbreaking defeat to Bosnia & Herzegovina.

In addition to Inzaghi, Massimiliano Allegri and Antonio Conte are among the potential candidates for the job.
