Inter Milan coach Antonio Conte has justified wages but faces uncertain future
The HinduInter Milan CEO Giuseppe Marotta insists that Antonio Conte is worth every penny of a salary that makes him the highest-paid coach in Serie A. Inter won its first league title in 11 years with four games to spare on Sunday, two years after the arrival of Conte who reportedly earns 12 million euros net per year, almost five times as much as the next highest-paid coach in Serie A. "He was a winner as a player and as a coach, and he managed to transmit these values to the players, since none of them had ever won a title except Arturo Vidal at Juventus," Marotta told Sky Italia. Inter's triumph ended Juventus’ nine-year reign as Italian champion, an era of dominance Conte played a major part in by leading the Turin club to the first three league titles of that run between 2011 and 2014. "We have thought a lot about the present, leading Inter back to the title after so many years was too important," he told Sky Italia.
