Inter coach Antonio Conte is making his return to his former stadium, the Allianz Stadium, in Turin tonight, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Milano based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.
The report details how the 50-year-old Italian coach knew that he would be returning to Juventus’ stadium in Turin this season with their hated rivals Inter, although he couldn’t have expected that it would be played without fans behind closed doors. The Lecce born coach immediately won over the hearts of the Inter faithful thanks to the side’s strong start to the season.
Conte faced some criticism from Juventus fans following his appointment as coach of Inter, the report continues. Some even suggested that the 50-year-old Italian coach, who won three league titles with the Bianconeri in his three years in charge, should lose his star outside the stadium. Conte will have to wait until next season to face his former supporters in his former home.
