Inzaghi casts doubt over his future

Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi has cast doubt over his future after finishing the season trophyless and amid interest from Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal.

The Italian was quizzed about his future, and the answer he gave suggested that there is an offer which he had considered, and losing the Champions League final won't help.

“My future? We will see in the next days. I will meet with the club and we will assess the situation together,” he said.

Multiple reports in the Italian media suggested that the manager has received an offer that will make him the highest-paid coach in the world, but left his decision until the end of the final.
