Inter Milan: Antonio Conte linked with job after Stefano Pioli sacked

INTER Milan have refused to comment on reports they are planning to offer Chelsea boss Antonio Conte a deal to replace the sacked Stefano Pioli.

Reports in Italy say the Chinese-backed Serie A club are prepared to offer Conte £250,000 a week if he leaves Chelsea after one season.

Pioli was sacked on Tuesday after six months as head coach.

The 51-year-old replaced Frank de Boer in November, signing a contract until the end of June 2018.

Former Italy boss Conte, 47, also managed Inter’s rivals Juventus from 2011 to 2014.

With three matches remaining, Inter are seventh in Serie A, three points adrift of AC Milan and the final qualifying spot for the Europa League, and are winless in seven league games.

Youth team coach Stefano Vecchi will take charge of the first team for the rest of the season.

Pioli was Inter’s ninth manager since Jose Mourinho left in 2010.

A club statement read: “Inter thanks Stefano and his team for the dedication and hard work carried out at the club over the last six months in what has proven to be a difficult season.

“The club will begin planning now for the next season.”
