Antonio Conte has insisted that working for Inter is ‘normal’, despite his Juventus past.
Inter marks Conte’s first role since leaving Chelsea last July, and the former Italy CT says he is ready to end the Nerazzurri’s trophy drought.
“I must work very hard. I need to work, it’s in my DNA,” he told GQ, in excerpts of an interview released next week.
“The presence of [Beppe] Marotta helped me join Inter because it was confirmation that they had very serious intentions.
Antonio Conte has insisted that working for Inter is ‘normal’, despite his Juventus past.
Inter marks Conte’s first role since leaving Chelsea last July, and the former Italy CT says he is ready to end the Nerazzurri’s trophy drought.
“I must work very hard. I need to work, it’s in my DNA,” he told GQ, in excerpts of an interview released next week.
“The presence of [Beppe] Marotta helped me join Inter because it was confirmation that they had very serious intentions.
“For eight seasons, they haven’t fought for first place. They want to change that, and I was struck by [Steven] Zhang’s determination.
“I know there are expectations placed on me, given the results I’ve achieved and the speed with which they came.
“I can accept having only a little chance of winning at first, but that must change. We can win things, we have no limits.”
The 49-year-old has a long affinity with Juve, who are considered the Beneamata’s fiercest rivals…
“It’s normal to work for different clubs. I look forward to bringing Inter where they belong. The fans expect a lot, and they do well to support the team.”
