Former Inter president and owner Ernesto Pellegrini has expressed his views on Inter manager Antonio Conte and also offered the former Juventus and Italian national team boss some advice with regard to what he should do.
“I would not chase Conte away, he is a great coach. I recommend him to bring more serenity and smiles to the locker room. I see him angry and I’m sorry for Inter,” he explained in an interview with Italian radio station Radio Punto Nuovo, which took place earlier on this evening.
Next he spoke on the relationships that he had and has with the players that were at the club during his presidency and ownership.
“My former players? They expressed their affection for me. Klinsmann and Mandorlini are just some of them. I feel incredible affection from everyone. It means that I have behaved well and honestly.”
He then went on to share his thoughts about tomorrow night’s Serie A match between Inter and Napoli at San Siro, a match which will put second place in Serie A versus third place.
“They are two healthy teams that come into the match having both won their last playing good football.”
He was then asked if he was envious of the great success that Inter’s city rivals AC Milan enjoyed during his time in charge of Inter.
“Sconcerti said that I was an unlucky president for the successes I obtained and he is right. For the investment made, we deserved more.”
In conclusion he was asked about the possibility of Napoli winning the Scudetto this season: “If Inter don’t win, then let Napoli win.”
