Simone Inzaghi is a household name in the world of football, though perhaps he is best known for being the younger brother of World Cup-winning striker Filippo Inzaghi.
Born in April 1976, Simone Inzaghi is a former professional footballer and he is the current manager of Saudi Pro League giants Al-Hilal.
How Much Is Simone Inzaghi Worth?
As of June 2025, it is widely believed that Simone Inzaghi has a net worth of around £4 million – with the majority of his earnings obtained in his post-playing career.
He has enjoyed successful tenures at Lazio and Inter Milan, two of Italy’s biggest football clubs, and he is likely to attract some of Europe’s top outfits in the coming years.
Inzaghi was one of Europe's highest paid managers at Inter but he is now the highest paid manager on the planet, joining Saudi Pro League giants Al-Hilal for £25 million per year, with a signing bonus in the region of £4 million.
Having signed on the dotted line with Al-Hilal, Inzaghi is officially the highest-paid manager in the world. Stefano Pioli, Matthias Jaissle, and Laurent Blanc are current Pro League managers with higher salaries than many of the managers at Europe's biggest clubs.
Playing Career
Simone Inzaghi started his professional football career with Piacenza in 1993 but his rise to prominence truly began during his time at Lazio.
In the 1999/2000 campaign, he scored 15 goals in 30 Serie A encounters and he was key to the club’s domestic double that season.
Winning both the Serie A title and the Coppa Italia crown in the same season would be a dream come true for any aspiring Italian footballer but you could argue that he peaked early in his career.
Inzaghi found himself in the shadow of his older brother at times but enjoyed stints at Sampdoria and Atalanta before retiring from football in 2010.
He did get one over on his sibling in 2000 as Lazio clinched the Scudetto on the final day of the Serie A season, much to Filippo’s disappointment.
Switch To Management
After making the tough decision to retire in 2010, Simone Inzaghi decided to try his hand at management – beginning with Lazio’s youth teams. He was an instant hit and worked his way up to first team coach just a few years later.
In five years at the club, he led Lazio to a Supercoppa Italiana title and they consistently finished inside the top five in Serie A, securing European football on a regular basis.
His impact did not go unnoticed and Inter Milan came knocking in 2021, and the Nerazzurri made an offer that he simply could not refuse.
It took Simone Inzaghi a few years to settle down and adjust to life at San Siro but Inter were crowned Serie A champions in 2023/24 while the Italian giants faced Paris Saint-Germain in the 2024/25 Champions League final at the end of May 2025.
En route to the final, Inter consistently defied the odds – and their semi-final success over competition favourites Barcelona will live long in the memory as one of the best Champions League semi-final stories of all-time. The final didn't end so positively, however, with Inter on the wrong end of a 5-0 scoreline.
Family Life
While Filippo has stolen much of the limelight, that has allowed Simone Inzaghi to enjoy a more private personal life over the years. He shares a son with actress and television presenter Alessia Marcuzzi, though the couple are no longer together.
In 2018, Simone Inzaghi married Gaia Lucariello, a fashion model and famous social media influencer in Italy. The couple have two sons; Lorenzo, born in 2013, and Andrea, born in 2020.
Brother Filippo, an iconic figure with sports betting punters, and ex-partner Alessia were both in attendance at the wedding in Tuscany, with over 200 guests witnessing the marriage.
