The newspaper "Al-Riyadiyah" sparked widespread controversy after publishing news that Italian coach Simone Inzaghi had officially signed a two-year contract with Al-Hilal to lead the team starting next week.

The news published through the newspaper's official account on the "X" platform claimed that the current coach of Inter Milan would officially take over the leadership of the club in the upcoming period.

However, informed sources confirmed that Inzaghi has not finalized any agreement with Al-Hilal's management yet, and negotiations between the two parties are still ongoing without reaching an official arrangement.

Just about thirty minutes after its publication, the newspaper hastily deleted the news from its digital platforms without issuing an official clarification regarding the retraction of the information.

It is worth noting that Al-Hilal continues to search for a new head coach to lead the team in the upcoming season, amid great anticipation from the club's fans regarding the identity of the next coach.
