Simone Inzaghi resigns as Inter Milan manager after Champions League final loss

Simone Inzaghi has stepped down as manager of Inter Milan, three days after the club's crushing 5-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final. In a statement published on the club's website on Tuesday, Inzaghi confirmed his departure and thanked supporters for their backing over the past four years.

"The time has come for me to say goodbye to this club after a four-year journey, during which I gave everything," he wrote. "I want to dedicate one last word to the millions of Nerazzurri fans who cheered me on, cried and suffered in difficult moments and laughed and celebrated in the six triumphs we experienced together. I will never forget you."

Inzaghi leaves after winning six trophies with the club -



one Serie A title, two Coppa Italia wins, and three Supercoppa Italiana titles. However, the 2024-25 season ended in disappointment. Inter finished second in the league, one point behind champions Napoli, and were knocked out in the Coppa Italia semi-finals by city rivals AC Milan. They also lost to Milan in the Supercoppa Italiana final in January.

Saturday's heavy defeat in the Champions League final proved to be the breaking point. It was Inter's second appearance in the final in two years, but they were outclassed by a dominant PSG side in Berlin.

Inzaghi had one year left on his contract but chose to step away before the upcoming Club World Cup in the United States, where Inter are set to face Monterrey on June 17.
