Could a familiar face from Serie A be set to lead the Italian national team? Reports suggest Simone Inzaghi, the former Inter Milan manager now with Saudi side Al-Hilal, is being considered as a potential successor to Gennaro Gattuso for the Azzurri's top job.

Inzaghi's future in Saudi Arabia appears uncertain despite an impressive unbeaten run in the league. With Al-Hilal trailing in the title race, a swift return to Italy could be on the cards. This opens the door for a dramatic homecoming, potentially swapping club management for the challenge of guiding the reigning European champions.

The Italy role became vacant after Gattuso's resignation following a surprising defeat. The search for a new leader is underway, with Inzaghi's name now in the mix alongside other high-profile Italian tacticians. His proven track record of success at the highest level in Serie A makes him a compelling candidate to restore the national team's fortunes.
