Inter made Antonio Conte one of the highest paid coaches of the world

On its official website, the Italian football club “Inter” announced the appointment of a 49-year-old local specialist Antonio Comte. According to the media, he was offered a contract for 11 million euros per year.

Contain was replaced by the helm of the Milan team of his compatriot Luciano Spalletti, whose resignation was announced on Thursday . Last season, the team took the fourth place in the Italian championship, getting a ticket to the group stage of the Champions League.

“I am very excited, a new chapter in my life begins,” Comte said. “I will try to justify the trust rendered to me with my work. I chose“ Inter ”because this project looks thorough and ambitious. I was bribed by the firm desire to return the lost positions to the club.”

According to Gazzetta Dello Sport , the specialist will receive 11 million euros per year at Inter. This amount raises it to the fifth position in the ranking of the highest paid coaches of the world. Only Diego Simeone (Atletico, 23 million), Josep Guardiola (Manchester City, 18 million), Ernesto Valverde (Barcelona, ​​12.5 million) and Zinedin Zidan (Real Madrid, 12 million) receive more than him.

The last team of Conte was the London Chelsea, which he headed since August 2016. The coach led the team of Roman Abramovich to the champion title (2016/17) and the owner of the Cup of England (2017/18), but at the end of the unsuccessful season 2017/18, the Italian was fired since then without work.

Earlier, Contain became the champion of Italy three times, being the head coach of Juventus. He also worked in the Italian “Siene”, “Scar”, “Bari” and “Atalanta”, as well as in the national team of his country.
