Manchester United showed interest in Simone Inzaghi after Amorim's dismissal, but the Italian declined
Manchester United continues its search for a new head coach. One of the considered candidates was Italian specialist Simone Inzaghi, who is currently at the helm of Saudi club Al Hilal.
Details: According to insider Nicolò Schira, Manchester United inquired about the possibility of appointing Simone Inzaghi as head coach following the dismissal of Ruben Amorim. However, the Italian manager decided to remain with Al Hilal and is not considering a return to European football at this time.
It is reported that Inzaghi's candidacy was discussed internally as one of the potential replacements for Amorim, but the coach made it clear he is fully focused on his work in Saudi Arabia. Now, Manchester United is forced to continue its search for a new manager, turning to alternative options.
It's worth noting that today, January 7, at 21:15 Central European Time, Manchester United will play its first match after Ruben Amorim's departure — facing Burnley. Darren Fletcher will lead the Red Devils for this fixture.
Reminder: Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick confirmed talks with Saudi Al Hilal defender João Cancelo.
