Conte fury at Inter’s Chinese owners: Antonio Conte’s Inter Milan ended up finishing just one point behind fierce rivals Juve in second, their best placing since 2011. But Conte’s future has been thrown into doubt after his outburst following Saturday’s 2-0 win over Atalanta in Bergamo which enabled them to snatch second place. “It has been a tough year on a personal level, very tough,” said the former Juve, Chelsea and Italy coach, who was angered at perceived media criticism of him and his team. “We had to eat rubbish for months and got zero protection from the club. There will be discussions with the president (Steven Zhang), but he is in China. I can be a lightning rod for the first year, but if you don’t learn and keep making the same mistakes that’s just crazy.”
