Italian coach Simone Inzaghi sparked a wide wave of anger among Al Hilal fans following the loss to Qatar's Al Sadd in the Round of 16 of the Asian Champions League for the elite, in a match held at the Al-Inma Stadium.

Inzaghi made a controversial decision by giving the players an extra day off despite the recent defeat, after he had decided to rest the team from training, which increased the intensity of fan criticism.

This decision caused great dissatisfaction among Al Hilal fans, who considered the timing completely inappropriate, especially after the disappointing exit against Al Sadd in a match that was deemed pivotal.

The fans believed that the team needed to quickly correct mistakes, rather than staying away from training, which put the coach under increasing pressure in recent hours.

These developments came at a sensitive time, as Al Hilal is preparing to play the King's Cup final against Al Khulood, in an anticipated match to be held on April 23 at the Al-Inma Stadium.

Al Hilal hopes to quickly overcome the effects of the recent defeat and regain its balance before the awaited final, amid great fan anticipation for what the team will offer in the upcoming stage.
