Despite winning the Italian Serie A title with Inter Milan, Antonio Conte has terminated his contract with the club.

Reports say that the club’s desire to reduce costs and bring in extra revenue, selling at least one big player to raise funds, does not sit well with Conte.
Conte has now agreed a deal with the club’s owners which will see him paid €7m for the final year of his contract for him to discontinue.
There could also be a clause in the agreement barring Conte, 51, from signing for another Serie A club in the near future.
