Former Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte has been named Inter Milan manager, replacing the sacked Luciano Spalletti.
The appointment marks a return to Italy for the 49-year-old who left Juventus where he won three Serie A titles for Chelsea where he was sacked last season after two years having won the Premier League title and FA Cup.
Reacting to his appointment, the former Juve and Italy midfielder said: “A new chapter in my life is beginning, I’m really excited,” the former Juventus and Italy midfielder said.
“I have chosen Inter because of the club it is, because of how ambitious it is.
“I was struck by the club’s transparency and the desire to bring Inter back to where it belongs.”
Inter president Steven Zhang said he was “sure Antonio Conte is one of the best coaches out there”.
“I’m certain he’ll help us achieve our objective and fulfil our mission, one which has always remained the same: to make this club one of the best in the world again.”
Under Spalletti, Inter finished fourth in the league and qualified for the Champions League.
