Inter Milan's academy chief Roberto Samaden has confirmed Armando Madonna will be the primavera coach next season.

Madonna led Inter to the primavera final last week, with his team ultimately beaten by Atalanta.

Samaden said: "You can't have regrets. We must give credit to Atalanta who deserved it for what they've shown throughout the entire season. However, we're pleased. At the start of the year, no one thought that we would've finished out in front. This is a group with great values.

"We were a centimetre away from winning the trophy. The overall summary is positive, and with this, we can confirm that Armando Madonna will be Coach of Inter's Primavera side next season. The lads have grown, while the Coach and his backroom staff have worked with quality and great dedication. You don't only need technique in football but also values. And this group has proven that they have them. The mentality is the right one."
