Former Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has been named Inter Milan manager, replacing Luciano Spalletti who was sacked after two season in charge.
The 49-year-old returns to work in Italy after being dismissed by Chelsea at the end of last season.
He spent two years at Stamford Bridge, where he won the Premier League and FA Cup, having previously claimed three Serie A titles as boss of Juventus.
Under Spalletti, Inter finished fourth in the league and qualified for the Champions League.
“A new chapter in my life is beginning, I’m really excited,” the former Juventus and Italy midfielder said.
