With the 2019-20 Serie A season in the books, ESPN FC’s Gab Marcotti dishes out his best takeaways from the unprecedented campaign and also takes a deeper look at Antonio Conte’s future at Inter Milan. Marcotti says Inter are stuck with Conte after his recent comments about the front office due to his lucrative contract. Marcotti also lauds Lazio star Ciro Immobile and AC Milan’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic for their performances during the course of the season, and he explains why more clubs should copy Atalanta’s blueprint for success.

Conte is a superb tactician and amazing at player recruitment but he is a difficult man to employ which is why he hasnt been at places like Byern or Madrid
Juventus winning scudetto streak would be stop if Conte still in Inter next year… For more, Juve have new coach that isnt experienced enough…
"we had to eat dung for months" ???
Juve won only bcoz of CR7
2:17 So there's no pandemic in China? ?
Conte is always angry
“Why would he want to be in Europe where there is a pandemic going on, he lives in CHINA” ?
Everything Conte said about Inter are well known about the club, but you're supposed to discuss this privately. Inter now in a real pickle. They look bad with whatever decision they make. But the more sensible decision would be to suck up, keep him, and also listen to him.
If I was juve I'd be worried next season
Dude feel sad for hakimi
Atletico wins UCL… Simeone feels he have already done everything at Atleti….
Simeone goes to Inter…
next seasone
People said Mourinho is bitter lol
Inter have given Conte everything he wants. Now there is only one man who is accountable, and that's Conte….
These ppl know absolutely nothing about serie a. Anyone who watches serie a knows what conte meant
Ac milan 66 points. I think it s the best from the last 5 seasons? Actually they are kinda always finishing 6th. But they played so much better after the pandemic thing. And atalanta were worse
Atalanta 5 points short of juve. If they wouldn t receive a goal in the last minutes against juve they would have had 80 points and juve 81 inter 82. But let s be real, juve didn t care after they were officially champions
If Inter are smart they will keep Conte. If Conte is smart he will stay at Inter. Clubs can't just dump a manager because he doesn't win you the league or UCL within the first 2 years they need time. Especially a great manager like Conte. If he stays Inter WILL win the league and WILL win a champions league.
Chelsea fan: antonio conte is one fucking genius
Under Conte Inter played better than they have in the last six-seven years. For his first season to take his team to second place and be a point behind from Juventus clearly states he wants the culture and mentality of the club to improve. He’s an a-hole of course, but that’s what Inter needs at this moment and for someone to point out their flaws despite what criticism he’ll receive. If he gets sacked it’s Inter’s fault not Contes. He has probably sacrificed and worked harder than anybody from the board of Inter. He says he doesn’t need transfers but of course he does. What this club needs is a rebuild and he will do that successfully if the board approves his needs and requirements.
ESPN video? I'm surprised they didn't have Man United or Pogba in the title.
Zlatan is 0% nordic viking, he's half bosnian, half croat.
If Inter back Conte in the transfer market, this will probably win the title next season such good manager loved his style when he managed Chelsea
Pretty clear he wants inter to rebrand and reinvent itself like juve mainly off the field
I've supported inter 20 years and he's totally right! Inter has been badly run for years, decades even.
We need better infrastructure and a better way to do business like Juve, Man City, Liverpool.
Gabriel as usual is completely missing his point. Opting for sensationalism like the rest of the jokers on here.
Plus inter if you were to sack Conte who on earth could do better within this current set up? Not Pep not Klopp any manager would struggle here.
Conte isn't perfect but I like the winner's attitude he's brought here, a style of play and the fact that he doesn't take prisoners, either they listen to what he's saying or continue with the status quo.
Does "Zlatan Ibrahimovich" sound like a Nordic name or heritage?! His parents are both from the old Jugoslavia who immigrated to Sweden. Typical of Zlatan to rant about qualities he doesn't posses. He is a great player but highly overrated.
Conte is one of the best coach which he was still at Chelsea
Good things for inter- Defense, Lukaku Martinez partnership, Conte
Bad things for inter – sensi injury, eriksen failure to come good who came as his replacement. Another bad season for Sanchez in which he performed only 2 good matches
Conte needs to understand that inter has done enough in market and infrastructure improvements take time. I know San siro and other facilities are not par with juve because they are earning more. Once inter be considered among those elites again then they can have that much facilities again and he will clearly be able to show his anger.
That's a beautiful top 7. Top teams in italy bieng in their rightful places and there's still room for growth. Rise Serie A, it can only be good for football
Inter did well and finished one point behind Juve who played bad… They’re still far off Juve.
All he wants is an unlimited budget
This is why inter had such an unsuccessful decade, they don’t have patience and sack managers literally every one or a couple of years, imagine if Conte stays for 5 years the things he could achieve
If Sarri stays next season with Juventus which is almost sure, Inter will have a real chance winning the league. I'd say about 70%.
Conte is not fit to be a manager, lets just face it.
Yankee twats
Who owns and has influence over the media?….then you'll see why the media constantly attack Inter.
He does not like Erikson, Erikson can won him the league
Inter Likes collecting Premier League trash(Erickson, Young, Lukaku, Sanchez) to name a few.
He already doing better, just give him a chance, this season is season inter finished as Runner up and this A best achievement since 9 years.
To much replacing manager Will be worst thing, remember many great player wanna join inter because they have interest about Conte tactical scheme, Conte leave mean most of good player also Will leave
I’m starting to hate Juventus at this point. Not even close to fair bro
It’s amazing teams couldn’t capitalize Juve’s inconsistencies. Trophy really covered the cracks
Conte is a nut.
I hope he doesn't leave Inter cause they have a chance of being champions next year. Btw he is the one that built Juventus from its ashes and at the moment he is the only that can end their reign!
Inter dropped 13 points after the break including losing at home to Bologna and draws also at home with Fiorentina and Sassuolo. it is all on Conte, with the players that he have at his disposal and the real chance for the title such results are disgrace really.Chelsea supporter here, he was whining and throwing anybody else under the bus{players, management} every single week in his second year. It is never about him and his decisions, never. It was true relief for me when he finally left, not that i was impressed by Sarri and Lamps now, but Conte was insufferable.
