What's that? Horrid first touch when controlling a pass?

letting the game run past him then bundling over a player off the ball conceding a fk that breaks down his team's play.

In all likelihood, the agreements for Conte's departure from Inter will be finalized by Saturday without the need for further meetings with top management. The cost cutting program imposed by the ownership doesn't coincide with the plan of the coach.

Conte broke up with Inter. Who proposed the renewal with a 20% cut on salary, the sacrifice of two big name players, and a market without heavy investments. The break is almost total, they are negotiating the potential severance pay.

It’s over between Conte and Inter.

[Jase 43,479]

So much for thinking Conte won't leave Inter, eh @OneMoSalah? 

[Jase 43,479]

Wonder if Mourinho regrets taking the Roma job now. Could have replaced Conte back at Inter!

This is really typical BS, deja vu with Conte isn't it? Great coach but is stubborn as hell and unable to compromise. That's 3 jobs now he has left/has been sacked because of disagreement with the club over players. 

At this point, Conte is really a clone of Mourinho. Only difference is, Conte is not a washed up manager...yet.

So he really is going, dont you dare touch Spurs Conte, he is exactly what they need short term. My brother would love him at Ars.

Crazy.

Inter not going to improve, particularly in Europe, a great deal by cutting 70-100m off their budget in all realism though. Going to mean a Lukaku or a Martinez or a Barella has to leave and they are three of their best players.

Seen he had said there were 7 or 8 players he wanted to be deemed as untouchable but they need to shift someone to make money.

Simone Inzaghi looks like hes going in there, will be interesting, used to a smaller budget but any team having won a title the expectations are much bigger and Inter wont want to just disappear after 1 good season particularly how long it took them to get back to Serie A champions and plus with Mourinho at Roma as well as Allegri going back to Juventus potentially they are going to be in a weird place.

Be interesting to see if for 70-100m that losing Conte will be worth it. I am surprised they haven’t found an investment from somewhere else but suppose COVID still affecting others.

Inter did manage to find an investment from somewhere - https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/sports/soccer-italys-inter-milan-secures-financing-deal-with-oaktree-funds-sources-2021-05-20/. But they still have to cut costs and Conte, in classic Conte fashion, wasn't having it.
