Antonio Conte Leaves Inter Milan by Mutual Consent
Serie A Coach Departs After Winning League Title
Conte Has Won Domestic League Titles with Juventus, Chelsea and Inter
MILAN, Italy -- Inter Milan coach Antonio Conte has left the newly-crowned Serie A champions, the club announced on Wednesday.
Conte and Inter agreed to part ways by mutual consent, ending the coach's two-year tenure at the club. Conte led Inter to their first Serie A title in 11 years this season, ending Juventus' run of nine consecutive championships.
The Italian coach has also won domestic league titles with Juventus (three times) and Chelsea.
Conte's departure comes as a surprise, as he had only signed a new contract with Inter in October. However, there have been reports of tension between Conte and the club's hierarchy in recent months.
Inter are now in search of a new coach, with Simone Inzaghi of Lazio and Max Allegri, who is available after leaving Juventus at the end of last season, among the favorites to replace Conte.
Conte's departure is a major blow to Inter, as he was a key figure in the club's resurgence this season. However, the club will be confident of continuing their success under a new coach.
