Saudi journalist Abdulaziz Al-Muraisel said Al-Hilal fully intend to renew Simone Inzaghi's contract, although Inzaghi has not renewed his deal with the club so far.
Renewal plans
Al-Muraisel explained that the renewal should have been announced in October, but conditions set by Inzaghi pushed the matter back.
Inzaghi's status
Al-Hilal's management had put Inzaghi under observation to decide whether he would stay, particularly after defeats to Neom in the Roshn League and Qatar's Al-Shamal in the AFC Champions League Elite.
Club World Cup place
Al-Hilal have yet to book their place in the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup. Al-Ahli are the only side through so far after winning the first two editions of the AFC Champions League Elite, while two more editions of the competition are still to come.
Al-Hilal career start
Inzaghi launched his Al-Hilal career at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup in the United States, steering the team to the quarter-finals before it fell to Brazil's Fluminense.
