“Spalletti and Inter – fresh air!” These are the words from Corriere Dello Sport after the meeting between the coach and Inter management. Spalletti arrived at the offices of Corso Vittorio Emanuele to speak with Steven Zhang, CEO Alessandro Antonello, Sporting Director Piero Ausilio and his Deputy Dario Baccin and CFO Giovanni Gardini.

The group were there not just to celebrate the success, but begin planning for the future. The first item on the table was the discussion of a new contract for the Tuscan manager – an extension to 2021 and an improved salary. After that, the discussion moved to the transfer market and the impact of Champions League qualification. The article states that “The future of Inter is starting to take shape, and Spalletti will be at the centre.”

Inter will be keen to secure the manager who made so many improvements to the side. Inter lost only six games for the season, securing their highest points total since 2010/11 and conceding the third fewest goals in all of Serie A.
