Antonio Conte is Inter President Steven Zhang’s first “top player” signing, according to Milano based newspaper the Gazzetta dello Sport, who emphasize the weight of the investment that has just been made by Suning for Inter.
“Antonio Conte is the man chosen by Beppe Marotta to bring Inter to international summits. His three year project involves a huge investment.”
“The coach from Lecce will have a salary equal to the one he received when he was the head coach at Chelsea: just over €11 million net per season. The gross cost for the club is €20 million, excluding the tempting bonuses for achieving targets and winning trophies in the future. He will be the highest paid coach in Italy and one of the highest paid in the world.”
“This shows just how serious Inter are about making their stamp in the world of football. This is not merely an improvement over the past but also a statement of intent.”
