Materazzi: Conte must win Inter fans' trust due to Juventus past

Marco Materazzi has given his support to new Inter manager Antonio Conte, after the former Juventus man was appointed on a three-year contract.

Though the 49-year-old Conte has been highly successful throughout his managerial career, the decision to appoint a man synonymous with rivals Juventus has surprised some fans.

Former Inter and Italy defender Materazzi admits that this may pose a challenge for the incoming manager, but thinks he can be a real success at San Siro.
