New Inter Milan coach Antonio Conte says the presence of GM Beppe Marotta convinced him to take the job.

The pair worked together at Juventus.

Conte said, “The set of results I obtained and the speed of which I got them came to me with a certain image.

“I create expectations. When I embark on a new adventure, the club expect a lot from me.

“The players are confident of improving, the fans expect great satisfaction. That means that I have to evaluate my choices very carefully.

“I can accept having only a small chance of winning at first, even just one percent, but there must be one at the very least.

“Marotta helped. He was the confirmation of the impression I had from afar. Marotta is a director who's won a lot.

“If you go for him as soon he leaves Juve, it means you have very serious intentions and leave no stone unturned to climb to the top."
