Corriere dello Sport are of the belief that Inter manager Luciano Spalletti is irritated by the persistent rumours suggesting Antonio Conte will take over from him on the Inter bench next season going by his pre-match press conference comments.
“There are so many rumours that I don’t know which ones you are referring to,” he remarked.
“If such important newspapers have been writing for months that I will no longer be here it is because they have their own Robert Redford reasons.
“It will not move our objectives by an inch.”
The Rome based newspaper believe those comments highlight his irritation but at the same time they have praised him for not losing sight of Inter’s Champions League qualification goal, which is ultimately all that counts now.
Inter’s Champions League destiny is in their own hands and they are well aware that six points from the remaining nine will secure them their place in next year’s edition of the competition.
