Under the agreement, Inter will send a powerful coaching team to improve the technical and tactical skills of the youngsters in the Academy. Coaches and youth players in Yitao Shanghai Football Club will also get the opportunity to participate in Inter’s training programs and events in Italy.
Inter's president Erick Thohir, Michael Bolingbroke, Javier Zanetti, Mauro Icardi, Marco Monti and Barbara Biggi attended the inauguration ceremony.
Inter Academy technical director Marco Monti declared: "It's a huge honour to be here to announce this five-year partnership with Yitao Shanghai Football Club. We can now launch our first Inter Academy in China, following on from our current projects in Japan, USA and Saudi Arabia.
