Inter manager Antonio Conte offered to step aside from his role as manager in a meeting with club management yesterday according to a report in today’s print edition of Italian daily newspaper Libero.
Conte and the club management met yesterday to take stock of the situation at the club following their disappointing elimination from the UEFA Champions League and European football entirely on Wednesday night.
As per this report, Conte told the club he would step away from his position however from a purely economic point of view, freeing Conte would cost €40 million which added to the revenue missed out on due to their elimination, is a lot of money and Inter simply put cannot afford to sack him.
The report from the Milan based news outlet goes on to add that for now Conte, who has 18 months left to run on his contract with the club, remains but it is not clear with what conviction.
