Former Roma coach Luciano Spalletti says he has reached a deal to take over at Inter Milan.
Speaking at Milan s Malpensa airport before flying to meet Inter s owners in China, Spalletti says he is pleased to be the new coach of Inter. ... It s all done. We shook hands.
The deal is reportedly for two years and worth 4 million euros ($4.5 million) per season. It comes a week after Spalletti departed rival Roma, having guided the Giallorossi to a runner-up finish in Serie A.
The move was widely expected, considering Spalletti s relationship with Inter sporting director Walter Sabatini, who also recently joined from Roma.
Spalletti tells the ANSA news agency that Sabatini is a great person and also capable at his job, which makes things easy.
