Politano tips Spalletti to stay amid Conte to Inter reports

Matteo Politano rates Inter-linked Antonio Conte as a "great coach" but expects Luciano Spalletti to remain in charge beyond this season.

Reports in Italy state Inter are preparing to cut short Spalletti's tenure and install former Chelsea boss Conte as his replacement.

The 49-year-old worked closely with Nerazzurri chief executive Beppe Marotta during a successful stint at Juventus and this week revealed there is a "60 per cent probability" of him coaching in Serie A next term.

Returning to champions Juve could also prove an option if, as is rumoured, Massimiliano Allegri steps down from his post.
