A meeting between Inter president Steven Zhang and head coach Antonio Conte is imminent, with his future unclear after statements made in interviews after the Nerazzurri’s 3-2 Europa League finals defeat to Sevilla yesterday, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Turin based newspaper Tuttosport.

The report details how the 51-year-old Italian coach alluded to an early departure from the club in post-match interviews yesterday, touching on how difficult his first season in charge was and how the club’s future will be planned with or without him. The former Chelsea and Juventus boss was understandably bitter after the loss, further dampening the mood at the club.

Conte will meet with president Steven Zhang and CEO Beppe Marotta next week, the report continues, where his future and transfer market objectives will be discussed. Should Inter move forward without the 51-year-old, former Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri is the top name of the list of replacements.
