Inter owner Zhang Jindong has decided: Antonio Conte is the man who will lead his club into a new era of trophies and success, starting in 2017/18.

Suning offered the Chelsea Coach a four-year deal worth €15 million per season after an initial offer of €11 million was deemed unsatisfactory.

The economic strength of the Chinese group on the transfer market also proved decisive in convincing the former CT to accept their terms, especially given that Financial Fair Play restrictions no longer apply.

Legal representatives from Suning are already in negotiations with Stamford Bridge chief Roman Abramovich in order to agree an early release from his current contract.

Despite reassurances from the club, the only glimmer of hope Stefano Pioli has of remaining in Milan is to secure Champions League qualification. This seems highly unlikely given Sunday night’s defeat to Roma.
