Antonio Conte Officially Appointed Inter Head Coach Following Luciano Spalletti's Departure

Antonio Conte has officially been appointed as Inter's new head coach following the departure of Luciano Spalletti.

Spalletti produced two top four finishes for I Nerazzurri but they crashed out of the Champions League in the group stage earlier this season and Conte has now stepped in to fill the former Roma manager's shoes at San Siro.

It is Conte's first job since leaving Chelsea last July and he's expected to be tasked with making Inter a stronger force domestically as they look to break Juventus' stranglehold on Serie A.

Conte said, as quoted by the club's website: "A new chapter in my life is beginning, I'm really excited.
