Al Hilal coach Simone Inzaghi grants squad nine-day rest

Al Hilal head coach Simone Inzaghi has granted the squad a nine-day rest period during the current international break. The team is scheduled to resume training on September 30 to prepare for upcoming fixtures.

This decision follows the team’s recent 2-1 victory against Qatar’s Al Gharafa. Inzaghi’s strategy includes balancing recovery with intensive preparation, including scheduled morning training sessions to enhance physical readiness and mental focus.

The break is intended to allow players to recover from physical and psychological fatigue caused by a dense match schedule. Following the rest period, the team will begin gradual preparations for the highly anticipated ‘Clasico’ against Al Ittihad, scheduled for October 10 as part of the eighth round of the Saudi Pro League.
