“Is Conte returning to Inter? Two obstacles, but now De Zerbi is Marotta’s preferred choice.”

Antonio Conte has left Tottenham and will now evaluate options for next season. At Inter, his candidacy is also being considered

After leaving Tottenham, Antonio Conte is now free to choose his next coaching destination. He will take a few months off before returning to the bench for the next season.

And the race for his signature might include his former team Inter, as Simone Inzaghi’s future seems to be already determined.

“Without a Champions League exploit, where the Nerazzurri will face Benfica in the quarterfinals, the fate of the Piacenza-born coach seems sealed. Even qualifying for next year’s Champions League by finishing in the top four in Serie A won’t be enough to avoid being sacked.

With 9 defeats in 27 league games, everything points to the separation of Inter and the Simone Inzaghi in June,” as reported by Gazzetta.it.

But among all of the candidates to replace the current coach, the clear favorite for Marotta, Ausilio, and Baccin is De Zerbi, as well as Thiago Motta, who is admired for his recent growth and his job done with Bologna

The premise is that Antonio left on bad terms with the Nerazzurri world. He no longer believed in Suning’s project, refused to be complicit in the economic downsizing, and bid farewell.

Setting aside Marotta, Ausilio, and Baccin for a moment, is it really possible for Zhang to rehire Conte after the distrust he faced in the spring of 2021?

But most importantly, would Conte agree to work at Inter, which still has great ambitions but no longer has the ability to invest as it did in the summer of 2019?” emphasized Gazzetta.
