August 21, 2020, marked a tough day for Inter Milan as they lost 3-2 to Sevilla in the Europa League final. Despite the defeat, coach Antonio Conte has announced that he will be staying with the club.

Conte's occasional outbursts have led to clashes with Inter's senior executives since he took over in 2019. However, the 51-year-old coach has maintained that he will continue to lead the team.

"There is no rancour, from me nor the club. There are people I already worked with, so that's not the issue," Conte said in a post-match interview.

He added, "It's about points of view, some situations that I faced this year and didn't like, with all due respect for everyone. We'll clarify the situation, without rancour, because I will always be grateful for having the chance to spend a great year at Inter, but on the other it was also very tough... if you think I will step back, I won't."
