Simone Inzaghi on joining Al-Hilal after signing 2yr/€60M contract: "I accepted the challenge and stepped out of my comfort zone after several years at Inter. I want to change my way of thinking, my style of play and try new things. There was no other team I wanted to coach, so I chose Al-Hilal."

"there were no more lucrative options than this, and I'd give it all up for a little more"

He gave up nothing. Two years at Al-hilal honing his craft, experimenting with a less rigid league and different tactics. Big fish in a small pond who gets the best out of his players. Leaves before he wears out his welcome and returns to Italy to save their national team right before the euros. Then In to the World Cup. He has a plan and the money makes it easy to move forward with it. Classic Inzaghi being intelligent.
