Italian coach Simone Inzaghi, the head coach of Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal, broke a prominent record previously held by Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus, following the impressive performance the team has delivered in this season's AFC Champions League.

Inzaghi managed to surpass Jesus's record, who had a remarkable start in a previous edition after winning against the Iraqi Police, as the Italian coach came and achieved an even stronger and more dominant start in the continental tournament.

Inzaghi became the first coach in Al Hilal's history to achieve five consecutive victories in the first five rounds of the current edition of the AFC Champions League Elite, securing a perfect record with a remarkable performance gap compared to the other competitors.

Excellence did not stop at the level of results; Okaz newspaper pointed out that the technical performance and consistency further strengthened Inzaghi's status as one of Al-Hilal's most prominent coaches on the Asian stage for many years.

Al Hilal continued their strong performances with a convincing 4-0 victory over Iraqi Police in the match held at King Saud University Stadium in Riyadh as part of the fifth round of the continental tournament.

With this victory, Al Hilal continues to assert its dominance in the group, while Inzaghi cements his name as the coach with the strongest start for an Al Hilal manager in the AFC Champions League Elite competition.
