The Italian Football Federation has resolved the ongoing debate regarding the possibility of hiring Simone Inzaghi to lead the Azzurri national team in the upcoming period.

Gabriel Garvinia confirmed in official statements that all the rumors about negotiations with Inzaghi are completely unfounded, describing such news as entirely inaccurate.

Media reports have linked the name of Al-Hilal's coach with the possibility of succeeding Gennaro Gattuso in coaching the Italian national team in the upcoming phase.

This controversy follows the failure of the Italian national team to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, after losing in the decisive playoff against Bosnia and Herzegovina in a penalty shootout.

In a related context, other reports indicated that Inzaghi's name is also being considered by the Saudi Arabian Football Federation in the event of a coaching change before the national team's participation in the World Cup.

The future of the Italian coach remains unclear, given his current involvement with Al Hilal's project and the interest from more than one party in acquiring his services in the coming period.
