Antonio Conte will head into the Europa League final aiming to win a major trophy in his first season in charge of Inter Milan and extend the barren spell of his Sevilla rival Julen Lopetegui when they clash in Cologne on Friday.
Conte won three successive Serie A titles with Juventus followed by the 2016-17 Premier League crown with Chelsea, while Lopetegui has been unable to claim a single honour at senior level as coach.
Lopetegui conceded denying Inter would be a tall order.
“They are at a magnificent level, a team made to play Champions League football… they have magnificent players and an experienced manager.”
Sevilla will need to draw inspiration from their 2-1 win over Manchester United. Inter trounced Shakhtar Donetsk 5-0 to reach the final.
Match starts: 12.30am IST
