Inter Milan coach Antonio Conte had a message for his doubter after the Nerazzurri were confirmed champions on Sunday.

Atalanta's draw with Sassuolo means the Nerazzurri cannot be caught at the top of the Serie A table.

The last coach to win the Scudetto with both Inter and Juventus was Giovanni Trapattoni.

“I was fortunate to cross paths with Trapattoni and I feel that I might not have done as well as a player or as a coach if I hadn't worked with him," Conte told Sky Italia.

“Those who played with Inter or have been a coach at Inter realise it's a complicated situation. You have to understand the various dynamics, at times play along, but never lose your identity and I never lost my identity.

“I think that was appreciated by those who at first had turned their noses up at me because of my past. I was brought to Inter in order to bring it back to victory within three years and I did that."

Despite the title success, Conte is still refusing to comment on whether he will still be at Inter next season.

“We certainly focused on the present, as this was too important to get it done and bring Inter back to winning the Scudetto after so many years out.

“The President has arrived now, there are four games left. As I have more experience, I now also want to enjoy this moment, because in the past I got myself caught up in other problems and didn't really enjoy it enough.

“There will be time to talk together, to understand the situation, try to organise ourselves and see what comes out of it. However, at the moment, I want to enjoy this with the players, the club, the fans and everyone, because we all earned this. I don't want anyone to disturb what we achieved."
