MIAMI:Simone Inzaghi said he gave his all to Inter Milan before taking over at Al-Hilal earlier this month after the Saudi club’s CEO told the BBC the move had been agreed before Inter’s 5-0 loss to Paris St. Germain in the Champions League final.

Inzaghi won a Serie A title, two Coppa Italias and three Italian Super Cups during his four years at Inter but could not deliver the Champions League title and left the club just days after their humiliating defeat by PSG in Munich.

“It might look like it’s something that came quickly, but it’s the result of hard work,” Al-Hilal CEO Esteve Calzada said.

“He was playing a massive match and asked (us) to keep things aside until after the final, it was decided but not signed before the final, just because out of respect he asked us to wait, which is certainly fair enough.”
