Antonio Conte dropped a hint over his future after Inter Milan suffered a dismal 3-2 defeat to Sevilla in the Europa League final on Friday.

Sevilla’s comeback victory in Koln means Conte has now lost all four of his European finals, as the Italian admits he might leave Inter Milan this summer.

The Italian manager, who arrived at the Giuseppe Meazza only last summer, has fallen out with the club hierarchy and could be on his way out in the upcoming period.

A disappointing loss to the Europa League supreme force has done little to improve a relationship between Conte and the Inter ownership.

Since the parties share different opinions, the former Juventus boss has dropped a hint over his future, admitting he could be leaving in the coming months.

“Now we have to get back to Milan, will take two or three days off, then with cool heads will meet,” Conte said, as transmitted Daily Star.

“It’s only right that we analyze the entire season, look at everything in a very calm way, and try to plan the future of Inter, whether it’s with or without me.

“I don’t know. We worked hard. It was a very tough season in many ways.

“So it’s only right to take a little rest, face the situations, and make the decision that is best for Inter. There is absolutely no bitterness.

“There might be different views on things, but we’ll evaluate everything.

“It has been difficult, and we’ll figure things out.

“It has been wonderful for me to be the coach of Inter. I thank the owners who allowed me to go through this great experience.

“If I can say one thing: it was worth it, and I will always thank those who gave me the opportunity to have this experience.”

Conte led Inter to a second-place finish in Serie A, with Juventus running away with the title thanks to a one-point lead over the Nerazzurri.
