Antonio Conte has revealed why decided to sign for Inter Milan, identifying the club’s project’s sound basis’and history.

“A new chapter in my life is beginning,” Conte told Inter Milan’s official website.

“I’m really excited. Through my work, I’ll try to repay all of the trust that the President and directors have placed in me.

“I have chosen Inter because of the club it is, because of the project’s sound basis and how ambitious it is. Because of Inter’s history.

“I was struck by the Club’s transparency and the desire to bring Inter back to where it belongs.
