Palermo will be the ninth club Inzaghi has managed since 2014 Filippo Inzaghi has been appointed manager of Serie B side Palermo weeks after winning promotion to the Italian top flight with Pisa. Inzaghi - older brother of former Inter Milan boss Simone - left Pisa by mutual consent on Friday despite securing promotion to Serie A in his only season in charge. On Tuesday, Palermo, who finished eighth last season and lost in the first round of the promotion play-offs, confirmed the appointment of the former Italy striker on a "multi-year contract". The 51-year-old spent much of his playing career at Juventus and AC Milan, winning two Serie A titles and two Champions League crowns at the latter, and was part of the Azzurri squad that won the 2006 World Cup. Inzaghi is now tasked with returning Palermo - part of the same City Football Group ownership group as Manchester City - to the top flight for the first time since 2017. Inzaghi joined Pisa in 2024 and led them to a second-place finish and a return to Serie A after a 34-year absence. He began his managerial career at AC Milan in 2014, two years after he retired from playing for the Rossoneri. He also oversaw Venezia's promotion from the third tier in 2017, before taking Benevento to Serie A in 2020. Inzaghi has never managed a club for more than two seasons, and joins Palermo two weeks after his brother left Inter Milan to coach Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia.
