Al-Hilal await response from Inter Milan sporting director amid reunion talks with Simone Inzaghi

Saudi Pro League giants Al-Hilal are waiting to hear back from the current Inter Milan sporting director, Piero Ausilio, over the possibility of a switch to the club. The news comes after Al-Hilal appointed former Inter Milan head coach Simone Inzaghi.

The Saudi side wants to reunite Inzaghi with Ausilio, who was instrumental in building the title-winning Inter team that Inzaghi managed.

Potential impact on Inter Milan if Piero Ausilio leaves

It would spell the end of an era at Inter Milan as well if Piero Ausilio were to leave the club to join Al-Hilal. The directive is not only vital but equally vital in the success of Inter Milan. For example, if he vacates his position, Inter Milan management will have to scramble for the best competitor available in order to stay at the top of Italian football.

Piero Ausilio played a huge role in Inter Milan's success, especially in the UEFA Champions League last year.

His recruitment strategy and management of the squad ensured there was depth and balance all over the field. Guided by him, Inter Milan assembled a side that could go toe-to-toe with the best in Europe, making the latter rounds of the tournament and proving tough to beat in key fixtures. A lot of it was down to Ausilio's decisions in the transfer market and how well he identified talent, attributes many lauded as key components for Inter Milan's success on the continental stage.With the ongoing back and forth, Piero Ausilio has a choice ahead of him, and one that could reverberate through both Al-Hilal and Inter Milan, and perhaps the whole of football. Al-Hilal has previously signed manager Simone Inzaghi and sporting director Piero Ausilio, and the pair will only strengthen the club's ambitions of becoming an internationally competitive force.
