Antonio Conte has been
appointed Inter Milan manager and will now take charge of the Nerazzurri dugout
as of Friday, May 31.
The former Chelsea manager
replaces Luciano Spalletti after he was axed on Thursday despite delivering
Champions League football and will resume work after exiting Stamford Bridge at
the end of last season.
Conte, has been without a
job since leaving the Stamford Bridge club almost a year ago.
It is reported that the
former Juventus manager will receive around £8.8million-a-year at the San Siro.
Speaking of his new role,
he said: “A new chapter in my life is beginning, I’m really excited, through my
work, I’ll try to repay all of the trust that the president [Steven Zhang] and
directors have placed in me. I have chosen Inter because of the club it is,
because of the project’s sound basis and how ambitious it is.
Because of Inter’s history
“I was struck by the club’s transparency and the desire to bring Inter back to
where it belongs.”

qualified for the Champions League but that was not enough to see Spalletti
hold his job.
Conte was preferred over
ex-Manchester United gaffer Jose mourinho, who was also one of the Serie A
club’s top contenders for the job.
In his two-year spell at
Stamford bridge the Italian won the Premier league and the FA Cup. The
ex-Chelsea manager’s last top job in Italy before moving to England saw him
lift three Serie A title with Juventus.
