Conte takes Inter to hometown Lecce as Juve host Parma

Inter Milan's Italian head coach Antonio Conte shouts instructions to his players from the touchline during their Italian Cup (Coppa Italia) round of 16 match against Cagliari on January 14, 2020 at the San Siro stadium in Milan.

Antonio Conte's Inter Milan head south to his former club Lecce on Sunday looking to keep the pressure on Serie A leaders Juventus, who host Parma, as the three-way title chase gains momentum with Lazio just behind the leading duo.

Inter are two points behind the eight-time reigning champions after being held by Atalanta last weekend with promoted Lecce offering 50-year-old Conte a chance to take home three points.

The minnows from the heel of Italy are one point above the relegation zone, coming off a run of four consecutive defeats, with 38 goals conceded this campaign.

Inter forward Lautaro Martinez, who has scored 15 goals in total this season, praised Conte for instilling ambition in the club who last won Serie A in 2010.

"Many things have changed," Martinez told TyC Sports.
