After 53 games, Algeria’s defeat broke Inzaghi’s all-time record against Al Hilal

The Italian coach failed to continue his streak

“Al Hilal” coach Italian Simone Inzaghi lost his historical record for the Saudi club after 53 full games.

Al Hilal lost 0-2 to MC AlgeriaA game that brought them together today, Wednesday, in Al-Zaim’s third friendly in their overseas camp in Austria.

The defeat is Al Hilal’s first loss to Inzaghi in 53 full matches at friendly and official level, and second overall under the Italian coach.

The first and last defeat of the Saudi Arabian national team under the leadership of the Italian coach was on July 4 of last year in the match against the Brazilian “Fluminense” with a score of 1-2 in the quarter-finals of the 2025 World Club Championship.

After that, “Al Hilal” under the leadership of Inzaghi played 53 matches, of which 5 were friendly and 48 were official, in which they did not have any losses, until they lost to MC Algiers.

It is true that Al-Zaim had a bye to the elite AFC Champions League in the round of 16 against Al-Sad of Qatar, but the first and extra time ended in a positive draw, 3-3, before losing on penalties.

Notably, Inzaghi has been in charge of Al Hilal since the start of the 2025 Club World Cup and managed to win the Guardian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup, but lost to Saudi Arabia’s league neighbors and arch-rivals Al-Nasr, going unbeaten.
