Inter, Moratti: "Conte is not up for discussion, he has to stay"
Ten years after that night in Madrid, Inter is playing another European final. Yesterday it was the Champions League final against Bayern Munchen - a match that completed a dream season for president Massimo Moratti's club -, today is the Europa League, a competition that an Italian club haven't been winning for 21 years, when its name still was Uefa Cup.
"This waiting is reminding me the one before the match against Bayern: even at that time there was more concern for the semi-final. Winning in this way gives an incredible strength and a leap in mentality", says the former Inter president to 'La Repubblica'. Inter is trying to repeat the campaing of Malesani's Parma in 1999 thanks to their amazing forwards duo: "Lukaku didn't convince me at the beginning, but then he showed to be a clever footballer who plays for the team. And then Lautaro is doing amazing things, he has an incredible potential".
Europa League could change the future of Antonio Conte: "I think he's staying. As coach he's not up for discussion, how can somebody say the opposite? Is he unpleasant? He has his behaviour, but no coach is too nice. And I can say that the most important thing for a coach is the relationship with the president".
