Italian football journalist Fabrizio Biasin believes that it is up to Inter chief executive Giuseppe ‘Beppe’ Marotta to find a solution in the short term to the current situation at Inter.

Following Antonio Conte’s most recent public outburst following the 2-0 win over Atalanta, media speculation regarding his future in charge of the club has been rife. Many reports have stated that it is most likely that Inter and Conte will part ways and other reports have stated that Inter have already decided that Max Allegri will replace him.

“He makes it clear it is not his intention to make an agreement or to resign, he trusts that the owners will satisfy him in his idea of “revolution” through the torpedoing of some indigestible figure within the organisational chart,” Biasin began his column which appeared in today’s print edition of Italian daily newspaper Libero.

“Morally, the situation remains quite tense and it’s up to Marotta – who is rightly annoyed by what happened post-Atalanta – to find a way out in the short term.”

Biasin then went on to share three thoughts that he has about the situation as a whole.

“Final thoughts. 1) This mess was to be avoided. Inter still have management problems, but they are relative to the level of growth that the club has had in recent years. You could (you had to!) face the situation in private.

“2) Not continuing with Conte would be dangerous. The character contraindications disappear in front of his abilities, but it is the manager himself who must understand if he really believes in a future at Inter or if is looking for a way to get out.

“3) Inter are really “crazy”, those who tried to put out the fire of the club’s endemic madness in the end, did nothing but feed it.”

Conte took charge of Inter in the Summer of 2019 and signed a three year contract with the club. This season he has managed the club in 49 matches across all competitions to date, of which Inter have won 29, drawn 12 and lost eight.
