Inter Milan players should demand board SACK ‘boring’ Antonio Conte despite club storming to Serie A title, says Cassano


ANTONIO CASSANO reckons Antonio Conte should be SACKED as Inter Milan boss despite being top of Serie A.

Ex-Chelsea boss Conte has Inter on course for a first title since 2010 with an 11-point lead at the top of the table.

But former Italian striker Cassano called Inter’s play style boring and ‘horrifying’.

He told Bobo TV: “Inter will win the Scudetto, because the only way to lose it now would be throwing it out the window, but I have to say this with a heavy heart: they play bad football.

“As for the talk about getting new players in, who would that be? Conte doesn’t want real champions.

“Ajax played with a three-man defence under Louis van Gaal too, but Conte plays 5-3-2, with everyone behind the ball, sitting there to defend the goal. Park the bus and you do not pass.

“This kind of football gives me the shivers, it’s horrifying. If I had a coach like this, I’d go to the President and beg him to fire the boss.”

Conte has been in charge since 2019 after leaving Chelsea the summer before.

Inter are set to end Juventus’ nine-year Serie A dominance with just eight games left in the campaign.

Only Atalanta, with 71, have scored more than Inter’s 69 goals in the Italian league this season while Conte’s men have the joint best defence with 27 conceded.

Cassano, who played 39 times for Italy, spent just one season at Inter.

He was better known for his Roma playing days which earned him a move to Real Madrid in 2006.
