Simone Inzaghi 'in talks' with shock club to leave Inter Milan just days before Champions League final against PSG
The Champions League final could be Inzaghi's last match in charge of Inter, according to reports.
Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi is reportedly in talks to take a shock new managerial role amid preparations for Saturday's Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain.
Inter take on PSG at Wembley on Saturday looking to win their first Champions League title since they defeated Bayern Munich in 2010 under Jose Mourinho.
The Italian side reached the final in 2023 but lost 1-0 to Manchester City.
They were expected to win the Serie A title this season but failed to win in three of their six last matches, opening the door for Antonio Conte and Napoli to win it by a point on the final day.

Napoli are reportedly on the search for a new manager, with Gianluca Di Marzio reporting that Conte could leave the club imminently.
But while Inzaghi would no doubt be on their shortlist to potentially take over, he could move to a shock club instead.
According to Sky Sports Germany's Patrick Berger, the 49-year-old is in 'advanced talks' to take over at Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal.
The club are said to see Inzaghi as the 'top candidate' to replace previous boss Jorge Jesus on a deal which would see him become the highest-paid coach in world football.
It is claimed that Inzaghi himself has paused talks over his future to focus fully on the Champions League final, but that an agreement could be reached afterwards.
Al Hilal are competing in this summer's Club World Cup, which gets underway on June 14 - just under two weeks after the Champions League final.
Inzaghi could, therefore, quit Inter and take charge of his new club this summer if he agrees a deal.
Al Hilal have been drawn in Group G and will take on Real Madrid, Pachuca and RB Salzburg in the group stage.
They have a star-studded roster which includes ex-Manchester City full-back Joao Cancelo, former Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic and ex-Wolves captain Ruben Neves.
Ex-Barcelona winger Malcom and Renan Lodi, formerly of Atletico Madrid and Nottingham Forest, are also part of the squad.
