Kopparberg Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Antonio Conte has left his role as Inter Milan manager - three weeks after leading the club to a first Serie A title in 11 years. The 51-year-old Italian spent two years in charge of Inter and had one year remaining on his contract. In a statement, Inter thanked Conte for his "extraordinary work" at the club. Conte has recently been linked with Real Madrid, amid speculation Zinedine Zidane will leave this summer, and the vacancy at Tottenham. Inter added that the decision to terminate the former Chelsea manager's contract was mutual. Despite helping Inter end Juventus' dominance of the Italian top flight, there has been speculation over Conte's future at the club for months. Inter's owner, the Chinese retail group Suning, is reportedly suffering financial pressure which is expected to lead to cost-cutting at the club and player sales this summer. In February, Jiangsu FC, also owned by Suning, folded just three months after winning their first Chinese Super League title. FROM THE BBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopparberg Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 Following Inter quite loosely, the owners seem to have been going ‘balls to the wall’ in the last few seasons. They seem to have had loads of players come through the door. Now they’ve won the league they seem inclined to wind down the spending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but the wolves might be at the door in terms of the stream of money. The actions of Juve, Barca and Real are testimony to that, they are all skint and have refused to pull away from interest in European football reform as they can no longer sustain the debts they have accumulated.

Debate Ive seen They should get anyone in whose got a half decent pedigree tbh Ole never has or never will be a top tier manager Laughable he’s still there just because he’s one of the boys. And a lot of United are so blinded by this they’ll support him through whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
