Inter Milan have announced the departure of Italian manager Simone Inzaghi, after Saturday’s heavy defeat in the UCL final to PSG.
Inzaghi, 49, leaves the club after a first trophyless campaign in his four years in charge, with his contract to run until 2026.
What Inzaghi said
“The time has come for me to say goodbye to this club after a journey of four years, during which I have given everything,” Inzaghi said in a statement on Tuesday.
“Every day I have dedicated my first and last thought of the day to Inter. I have been reciprocated with professionalism and passion by players, managers and every single employee of the club.

The six trophies won, including the Second Star Scudetto, along with the path to the UEFA Champions League in 2023 and just a few days ago, are tangible evidence of how much my work has been supported by a communion of purpose with my staff and every member of Inter”, he added.
“I thank the shareholders for the trust that has never been lacking, and the President and his staff for their daily help and dialogue.
One last word I want to dedicate to the millions of Nerazzurri fans who cheered me on, cried and suffered in the difficult moments, and laughed and celebrated in the six triumphs we experienced together. I will never forget you.”
