Antonio Conte’s men won 2-0 away at Crotone on Saturday and that result meant that Atalanta had to win in Serie A to avoid Inter’s confirmation. A 1-1 draw away at Sassuolo was not enough to prevent that. Inter Milan have clinched their first Serie A title in 11 years, ending Juventus’ nine-year dominance as Italian champions. Newly crowned Italian champions will have advantages signing Canada international and Bayern Munich player Alphonso Davies and as well others Inter transfer target players.
Conte won Serie A three times between 2012-14 with Juventus and this is now his fourth as a coach on top of the Premier League title that he won with Chelsea. Inter’s Scudetto is their 19th in total but their first since 2009-10 under Jose Mourinho and it officially brings an end to Juventus’ run of nine consecutive titles. AC Milan are the only other Italian club to win the league since 2001.
Inter have only twice tasted defeat this season – two 2-1 losses in the Milan derby in October and at Sampdoria in January, the latter followed by an ongoing 18-game unbeaten run which saw them collect 14 wins, 11 of them in a row.
Conte’s side snatched top spot from AC Milan on February 14 and have held it ever since, with a 3-0 triumph over their cross-city rivals in February making them the runaway leaders during the business end of the season.
