On May 27, China time, Serie A giants Inter Milan announced through official channels that it had reached an agreement on the termination of the contract with manager Antonio Conte. Conte will no longer be in charge of the Blue and Black coaching whip. According to Italian media disclosure, the compensation for the termination of the contract is expected to be between 7 and 7.5 million euros.
In a statement, the Inter Milan club recognized Conte's contribution, emphasizing that he helped the team win its 19th Serie A trophy during his tenure. Conte's name will be forever engraved in the club's history.
Sports commentator Han Qiaosheng expressed his views on the incident: "In the early hours of May 27, Inter officially announced the termination of his contract with Conte, which signaled Conte's imminent farewell to the team. It is reported that the termination clause stipulates that Conte will not be allowed to coach any Serie A team in the coming season. With this move, is Suning Group repeating the same mistake of playing with internal adjustments after winning the title?"
Currently, Suning Group is facing huge financial pressure. Although it has obtained 275 million euros financing from Oak Capital, it is still not enough to solve the problem. A number of Italian media reports said that Inter did not get a bonus for winning the championship, and chairman Zhang Kangyang even said that the players not only had to bear the situation of no pay for three months due to the epidemic, but were also asked to take a 20% pay cut. At the same time, the club plans to sell some of its main players to raise 100 million euros. As long as the price is reasonable, Inter is ready to release the players.
The decision has caused dissatisfaction among fans, with two protest banners appearing outside Inter's headquarters: "Zhang, take charge or leave" and "Cutting back on the championship team is an irrational move, the coach, players and staff are untouchable".
