CONTE AND ZHANG SHAKE HANDS STORY: Inter Milan handed the reins to former Juventus, Chelsea and Italy coach Antonio Conte on Friday (May 31), giving him the job of attempting to revive a side who have not won a major trophy for eight years.

The fiery 49-year-old, famous for his dressing-room tirades, will replace Luciano Spalletti who parted company with the Chinese-owned club on Thursday, two years before the end of his contract, despite guiding them into next season's Champions League.

Inter have won 18 Serie A titles and the Coppa Italia seven times but have struggled since winning a Champions League, Serie A and Coppa Italia treble under Jose Mourinho in 2010.

Their last major title was the Coppa Italia in 2011 and they missed out on the Champions League for six consecutive seasons before returning to the competition under Spalletti this season.

Conte is their 11th coach in nine years since Mourinho departed and the club has also changed hands twice since then.

China's electronics retailer Suning Holdings Group bought a majority stake in the club in 2016 and they will be hoping that Conte will have the same effect on them as he did on Juventus.

The Turin side had finished seventh for the two previous seasons before Conte arrived in 2011 but then won three successive titles under him.
