REUTERS: When Inter Milan coach Antonio Conte faces the cameras after a game, it’s about turning on the blue paper and restraining himself.
In his first season at Inter, former coach Juventus, Italy and Chelsea, 51, denounced his club’s “poor planning” and a list of “meaningless” matches, and even blamed poor functionality on the opposition game. kind of football
However, his most recent outburst, after a 2-0 win in Atalanta on Saturday that secured Inter’s position in Serie A, led to all sorts of intrigue.
“I don’t think the players’ paintings have been recognized and I don’t think my paintings were recognized,” he said, before accusing the unidentified members of the club of showing their faces only when things were going well.
“We’ve all earned very little club coverage, zero.”
This has left Italian media such as Gazzetta dello Sport and Corriere dello Sport wondering if he will resign. Will the club light you up? Did he mean a particular director, such as general manager Giuseppe Marotta, sporting director Piero Ausilio or even club president Steven Zhang?
Conte also said that nothing had replaced the Inter since an interview given through his predecessor Luciano Spalletti, an obvious reference to Spalletti’s statement that there is a “mole” in the Inter locker room that leaked the team’s gossip to the media.
So far, Inter has tended to help his coach. After their court cases that the team lacked in depth strength, they signed Christian Eriksen, Ashley Young and Victor Moses on the January merchandise.
Inter’s 82-point count, the most productive since the 2009–10 three-pointer season, seemed to justify the club’s confidence in its volatile coach and Marotta, who in the past worked with Conte at Juventus, was a diplomat in his post-match comments.
“We’ll have to continue on this path,” he told Inter’s website. “We have a team that has proven and proven so much that it is up to the task, you can see the paintings made through Conte.”
Even with former Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri, already discussed as an imaginable replacement, the dating between Conte seems to have reached a kind of crossroads.
