Article
Simone Inzaghi ( Italian pronunciation: [siˈmoːne inˈdzaːɡi]; born 5 April 1976) is an Italian professional football manager and former player who is currently the head coach of Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal. Nicknamed "Il demone di Piacenza" ("The Piacenza Demon") because of his ability to find unexpected tactical solutions and his verbal and non-verbal coaching communication style, Inzaghi is known for helping revive the 3–5–2 tactical setup.
Inzaghi began his playing career in 1994 with Piacenza but was loaned to several clubs, including Novara and Lumezzane, where he won back-to-back Serie C2 titles in 1996 and 1997. Inzaghi signed for Lazio in 1999 and won one Serie A title, three Coppa Italia titles, one Supercoppa Italiana, and one UEFA Super Cup. He also played for Sampdoria and Atalanta on loan before retiring in 2010. At international level, Inzaghi earned three caps for Italy between 2000 and 2003.
