"Questa notte splendida darà i colori al nostro stemma: il nero e l'azzurro sullo sfondo d'oro delle stelle. Si chiamerà Internazionale, perché noi siamo fratelli del mondo."

— 9 March 1908, Milan[1]

"This wonderful night bestows us with the colours of our crest: black and blue against a gilded backdrop of stars. It shall be called International, because we are brothers of the world."

— 9 March 1908, Milan[citation needed]

The club was founded on 9 March 1908 as Football Club Internazionale, when a group of players left the Milan Cricket and Football Club (now AC Milan) to form a new club because they wanted to accept for foreign players.[2] The name of the club derives from the wish of its founding members to accept foreign players as well as Italians.[3]

The club won its first championship in 1910 and its second in 1920.[citation needed] The captain and coach of the first championship winning team was Virgilio Fossati, who was later killed in battle while serving in the Italian army during World War I.[citation needed] In 1922, Inter was at risk of relegation to the second division, but they remained in the top league after winning two play-offs.

Six years later, during the Fascist era, the club was forced[by whom?] to merge with the Unione Sportiva Milanese and was renamed Società Sportiva Ambrosiana.[4] During the 1928–29 season, the team wore white jerseys with a red cross emblazoned on it; the jersey's design was inspired by the flag and coat of arms of the city of Milan.[citation needed] In 1929, the new club chairman Oreste Simonotti changed the club's name to Associazione Sportiva Ambrosiana and restored the previous black-and-blue jerseys; however, supporters continued to call the team Inter, and in 1931 new chairman Pozzani caved in[tone] to shareholder pressure and changed the name to Associazione Sportiva Ambrosiana-Inter.

Giuseppe Meazza still holds the record for the most goals scored in a debut season in Serie A, with 31 goals in his first season (1929–30).

Their first Coppa Italia (Italian Cup) was won in 1938–39, led by the iconic[tone] Giuseppe Meazza, after whom the San Siro stadium is officially named.[citation needed] A fifth championship followed in 1940, despite Meazza incurring an injury.[citation needed] After the end of World War II, the club regained[how?] its original name, winning its sixth championship in 1953 and its seventh in 1954.

Grande Inter (1960–1967)

[edit]

In 1960, manager Helenio Herrera joined Inter from Barcelona, bringing with him his midfield general[tone] Luis Suárez, who won the European Footballer of the Year in the same year for his role in Barcelona's La Liga/Fairs Cup double.[citation needed] He would transform Inter into one of the greatest[tone] teams in Europe.[according to whom?][citation needed] He modified a 5–3–2 tactic known as the "Verrou" ("door bolt"), which created greater flexibility for counterattacks.[citation needed] The catenaccio system was invented by an Austrian coach, Karl Rappan.[citation needed] Rappan's original system was implemented with four fixed defenders, playing a strict man-to-man marking system, plus a playmaker in the middle of the field, who plays the ball together with two midfield wings.[citation needed] Herrera would modify it by adding a fifth defender, the sweeper or libero, behind the two centre backs.[citation needed] The sweeper or libero, who acted as the free man, would deal with any attackers who went through the two centre backs.[citation needed] Inter finished third in the Serie A in his first season, second the next year and first in his third season.[citation needed] Then followed a back-to-back European Cup victory in 1964 and 1965, earning him the title "il Mago" ("the Wizard").[citation needed] The core of Herrera's team were the attacking full-backs Tarcisio Burgnich and Giacinto Facchetti, Armando Picchi the sweeper, Suárez the playmaker, Jair the winger, Mario Corso the left midfielder and Sandro Mazzola, who played on the inside-right.[5][6][7][8][9][10]

Sandro Mazzola played for the highly successful Inter team remembered by the name of "La Grande Inter", during the 1960s.

In 1964, Inter reached the European Cup Final by beating Borussia Dortmund in the semi-final and Partizan in the quarter-final.[citation needed] In the final, they met Real Madrid, a team that had reached seven out of the nine finals to date.[citation needed] Mazzola scored two goals in a 3–1 victory, and then the team won the Intercontinental Cup against Independiente.

A year later, Inter repeated the feat by beating two-time winner Benfica in the final held at home, from a Jair goal, after have[vague][clarification needed] defeated Liverpool in semifinals recovery from a 3–1 with a 3–0,[clarification needed] and then again beat Independiente in the Intercontinental Cup, becoming the first European team to win two times in a row the competition.

Inter in 1965 came close to win Treble for the first time in European football history after have won also Serie A title but lost 1965 Coppa Italia final played on 29 August 1965.[clarification needed]

Inter reached again semifinals in 1966[clarification needed] but this time lost against Real Madrid that later will[when?] win the tournament.[clarification needed]

In 1967, after Inter have eliminated Real Madrid in quarterfinals, with Suárez injured, Inter lost the European Cup Final on Lisbon[clarification needed] 2–1 to Celtic.[clarification needed][citation needed] During that year, the club changed its name to Football Club Internazionale Milano.

Subsequent achievements (1967–1991)

[edit]

Following the golden era[tone] of the 1960s, Inter managed to[tone] win their eleventh league title in 1971 and their twelfth in 1980.[citation needed] Inter were defeated for the second time in five years in the final of the European Cup, going down[tone] 0–2 to Johan Cruyff's Ajax in 1972.[citation needed] During the 1970s and the 1980s, Inter also added two to its Coppa Italia tally, in 1977–78 and 1981–82.

Hansi Müller (1975–1982 VfB Stuttgart, 1982–1984 Inter Milan) and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge (1974–1984 Bayern Munich, 1984–1987 Inter Milan) played for Inter Milan.[citation needed] Led by the German duo of Andreas Brehme and Lothar Matthäus, and Argentine Ramón Díaz, Inter captured[tone] the 1989 Serie A championship.[citation needed] Inter were unable to defend their title, despite adding fellow German Jürgen Klinsmann to the squad and winning their first Supercoppa Italiana at the start of the season.

Mixed fortunes (1991–2004)

[edit]

The 1990s was a period of disappointment.[according to whom?] While their great rivals Milan and Juventus were achieving success both domestically and in Europe, Inter were left behind,[tone] with repeated mediocre results[tone] in the domestic league standings, their worst coming in 1993–94 when they finished just one point out of the relegation zone.[citation needed] Nevertheless, they achieved some European success, with three UEFA Cup victories, in 1991, 1994 and 1998.

With Massimo Moratti's takeover from Ernesto Pellegrini in 1995, Inter twice broke the world record transfer fee in this period (£19.5 million for Ronaldo from Barcelona in 1997 and £31 million for Christian Vieri from Lazio two years later).[11] However, the 1990s remained the only decade in Inter's history, alongside the 1940s, in which they did not win a single Serie A championship.[citation needed] For Inter fans, it was difficult to find[according to whom?] who in particular was to blame for the troubled times[tone] and this led to some icy relations[tone] between them and the chairman, the managers, and even some individual players.

Moratti later became a target of the fans, especially when he sacked the much-loved[by whom?][tone] coach Luigi Simoni after only a few[vague][quantify] games into the 1998–99 season, having just received the Italian manager of the year award for 1998 the day before being dismissed.[citation needed] That season, Inter failed to qualify for any European competition for the first time in almost ten years, finishing in eighth place.

The following season, Moratti appointed former Juventus manager Marcello Lippi, and signed players such as Angelo Peruzzi and Laurent Blanc, together with other former Juventus players Vieri and Vladimir Jugović.[citation needed] The team came close to their first domestic success since 1989 when they reached the Coppa Italia final, only to be defeated by Lazio.

Inter's misfortunes[tone] continued the following season, losing the 2000 Supercoppa Italiana match against Lazio 4–3, after initially taking the lead through new signing Robbie Keane.[citation needed] They were also eliminated in the preliminary round of the Champions League by Swedish club Helsingborgs, with Álvaro Recoba missing a crucial late penalty.[citation needed] Lippi was sacked after only a single game of the new season following Inter's first ever Serie A defeat to Reggina.[citation needed] Marco Tardelli, chosen to replace Lippi, failed to[tone] improve results, and is remembered by Inter fans[according to whom?] as the manager who lost 6–0 in the city derby against Milan.[citation needed] Other members of the Inter "family" during this period that suffered[tone][clarification needed] were the likes of[tone] Vieri and Fabio Cannavaro, both of whom had their restaurants in Milan vandalised after defeats to the Rossoneri.

In 2002, not only did Inter manage to[tone] make it to the UEFA Cup semi-finals, but were also only 45 minutes away from capturing[tone] the Scudetto when they needed to maintain their one-goal advantage away to Lazio.[citation needed] Inter were 2–1 up after only 24 minutes.[citation needed] Lazio equalised during first half injury time, and then scored two more goals in the second half to clinch victory[tone] that eventually[when?] saw Juventus win the championship.[citation needed] The next season, Inter finished as league runners-up and also managed to[tone] make it to the 2002–03 Champions League semi-finals against Milan, losing on the away goals rule.

Comeback and unprecedented treble (2004–2011)

[edit]
Inter won the 2004–05 Coppa Italia, beating Roma.

On 8 July 2004, Inter appointed former Lazio manager Roberto Mancini as its new head coach.[citation needed] In his first season, the team collected 72 points from 18 wins, 18 draws and only two losses, as well as winning the Coppa Italia and later the Supercoppa Italiana.[citation needed] On 11 May 2006, Inter retained their Coppa Italia title once again[clarification needed] after defeating Roma with a 4–1 aggregate victory (a 1–1 scoreline in Rome and a 3–1 win at the San Siro).

Inter were awarded the 2005–06 Serie A championship retrospectively, after title-winning Juventus was relegated and points were stripped from Milan due to the Calciopoli scandal.[citation needed] During the following season, Inter went on a record-breaking run of 17 consecutive victories in Serie A, starting on 25 September 2006, with a 4–1 home victory over Livorno, and ending on 28 February 2007, after a 1–1 draw at home to Udinese.[citation needed] On 22 April 2007, Inter won their second consecutive Scudetto—and first on the field since 1989—when they defeated Siena 2–1 at Stadio Artemio Franchi.[citation needed] Italian World Cup-winning defender Marco Materazzi scored both goals.[12]

Inter started the 2007–08 season with the goal of winning both Serie A and Champions League. The team started well[according to whom?] in the league, topping the table from the first round of matches, and also managed to[tone] qualify for the Champions League knockout stage. However, a late collapse,[tone] leading to a 2–0 defeat with ten men away to Liverpool on 19 February in the Champions League, threw into question[tone] manager Roberto Mancini's future at Inter, while domestic form took a sharp turn of fortune,[tone][clarification needed] with the team failing to[tone] win in the three following Serie A games.[citation needed] After being eliminated by Liverpool in the Champions League, Mancini announced his intention to leave his job immediately only to change his mind the following day.[why?][citation needed] On the final day of the 2007–08 Serie A season, Inter played Parma away, and two goals from Zlatan Ibrahimović sealed their third consecutive championship.[citation needed] Mancini, however, was sacked soon after, due to his previous announcement to leave the club.[13]

Inter supporters during the 2010 UEFA Champions League Final at Santiago Bernabéu. In winning the final, Inter became the first Italian team to win the treble, having also won the Serie A title and the Coppa Italia.

On 2 June 2008, Inter appointed former Porto and Chelsea boss José Mourinho as new head coach.[14] In his first season, the Nerazzurri won a Suppercoppa Italiana and a fourth consecutive title, though falling in the Champions League in the first knockout round for a third-straight year, losing to eventual finalist Manchester United.[citation needed] In winning the league title, Inter became the first club in the last 60 years[clarification needed] to win the title for the fourth consecutive time and joined Torino and Juventus as the only clubs to accomplish this feat, as well as being the first club based outside Turin.

Inter won the 2009–10 Champions League, defeating reigning champions Barcelona in the semi-final, before beating Bayern Munich 2–0 in the final, with two goals from Diego Milito.[15] Inter also won the 2009–10 Serie A title by two points over Roma, and the 2010 Coppa Italia by defeating the same side 1–0 in the final.[16] This made Inter the first Italian team to win the treble.[17] At the end of the season, Mourinho left the club to manage Real Madrid;[18] he was replaced by Rafael Benítez.

On 21 August 2010, Inter defeated Roma 3–1 and won the 2010 Supercoppa Italiana, their fourth trophy of the year.[citation needed] In December 2010, they claimed the FIFA Club World Cup for the first time after a 3–0 win against Mazembe in the final.[19] However, after this win, on 23 December 2010, due to their declining performance in Serie A, the team fired Benítez.[clarification needed][20] He was replaced by Leonardo the following day.[21]

Leonardo started with 30 points from 12 games, with an average of 2.5 points per game, better than his predecessors Benítez and Mourinho.[citation needed] On 6 March 2011, Leonardo set a new Italian Serie A record by collecting 33 points in 13 games; the previous record was 32 points in 13 games, made by Fabio Capello in the 2004–05 season.[citation needed] Leonardo led the club to the quarter-finals of the Champions League before losing to Schalke 04, and lead[clarification needed] them to Coppa Italia title.[citation needed] At the end of the season, however, he resigned, and was followed by new managers Gian Piero Gasperini, Claudio Ranieri and Andrea Stramaccioni, all hired during the following season.

Changes in ownership (2011–2019)

[edit]

On 1 August 2012, the club announced that Moratti was to sell a minority interest of the club to a Chinese consortium led by Kenneth Huang.[22] On the same day, Inter announced an agreement was formed with China Railway Construction Corporation Limited for a new stadium project, however, the deal with the Chinese eventually collapsed.[23] The 2012–13 season was the worst in recent club history, with Inter finishing ninth in Serie A and failing to[tone] qualify for any European competitions.[citation needed] Walter Mazzarri was appointed to replace Stramaccioni as the manager for 2013–14 season on 24 May 2013, having ended his tenure at Napoli.[24] He guided the club to fifth in Serie A and to 2014–15 UEFA Europa League qualification.

On 15 October 2013, an Indonesian consortium (International Sports Capital HK Ltd.) led by Erick Thohir, Handy Soetedjo and Rosan Roeslani, signed an agreement to acquire 70% of Inter shares from Internazionale Holding S.r.l.[25][26][27] Immediately after the deal, Moratti's Internazionale Holding S.r.l. still retained 29.5% of the shares of FC Internazionale Milano S.p.A.[28] After the deal, the shares of Inter was owned by a chain of holding companies, namely International Sports Capital S.p.A. of Italy (for 70% stake), International Sports Capital HK Limited and Asian Sports Ventures HK Limited of Hong Kong.[citation needed] Asian Sports Ventures HK Limited, itself another intermediate holding company, was owned by Nusantara Sports Ventures HK Limited (60% stake, a company owned by Thohir), Alke Sports Investment HK Limited (20% stake) and Aksis Sports Capital HK Limited (20% stake).

Thohir, who also co-owned Major League Soccer (MLS) club D.C. United and Indonesia Super League (ISL) club Persib Bandung, announced on 2 December 2013 that Inter and D.C. United had formed a strategic partnership.[29] During the Thohir era the club began to modify its financial structure from one reliant on continual owner investment to a more self sustain[vague][clarification needed] business model, although the club still breached UEFA Financial Fair Play Regulations in 2015.[citation needed] The club was fined and received squad reduction in UEFA competitions, with additional penalties suspended in the probation period.[citation needed] During this time, Roberto Mancini returned as the club manager on 14 November 2014, with Inter finishing eighth.[citation needed] Inter finished 2015–2016 season fourth, failing to[tone] return to Champions League.

On 6 June 2016, Suning Holdings Group (via a Luxembourg-based subsidiary Great Horizon S.á r.l.) a company owned by Zhang Jindong, co-founder and chairman of Suning Commerce Group, acquired a majority stake of Inter from Thohir's consortium International Sports Capital S.p.A. and from Moratti family's remaining shares in Internazionale Holding S.r.l.[30] According to various filings, the total investment from Suning was €270 million.[31] The deal was approved by an extraordinary general meeting on 28 June 2016, from which Suning Holdings Group had acquired a 68.55% stake in the club.[32]

The first season of new ownership, however, started with poor performance in pre-season friendlies.[citation needed] On 8 August 2016, Inter parted company with head coach Roberto Mancini by mutual consent over disagreements regarding the club's direction.[33] He was replaced by Frank de Boer, who was sacked on 1 November 2016 after leading Inter to a 4W–2D–5L record in 11 Serie A games as head coach.[34] The successor, Stefano Pioli, didn't save the team[tone] from getting the worst group result in UEFA competitions in the club's history.[35] Despite an eight-game winning streak, he and the club parted away before season's end, when it became clear[to whom?] they would finish outside the league's top three for the sixth consecutive season.[36] On 9 June 2017, former Roma coach Luciano Spalletti was appointed as Inter manager, signing a two-year contract,[37] and eleven months later Inter clinched[tone] a UEFA Champions League group stage spot after going six years without Champions League participation thanks to a 3–2 victory against Lazio in the final game of 2017–18 Serie A.[clarification needed][38][39] Due to this success, in August the club extended the contract with Spalletti to 2021.[40]

On 26 October 2018, Steven Zhang was appointed as new president of the club.[41] On 25 January 2019, the club officially announced that LionRock Capital from Hong Kong had reached an agreement with International Sports Capital HK Limited, in order to acquire its 31.05% shares in Inter and to become the club's new minority shareholder.[42] After the 2018–19 Serie A season, despite Inter finishing fourth, Spalletti was sacked.[43] In May 2021, American investment firm Oaktree Capital loaned Inter $336 million to cover losses incurred during the COVID-19 pandemic.[44]

Renewed successes (2019–present)

[edit]

On 31 May 2019, Inter appointed former Juventus and Italian manager Antonio Conte as their new coach, signing a three-year deal.[45] In September 2019, Steven Zhang was elected to the board of the European Club Association.[46] In the 2019–20 Serie A, Inter Milan finished as runner-up, as they won 2–0 against Atalanta on the last matchday.[47] They also reached the 2020 UEFA Europa League final, ultimately[clarification needed] losing 3–2 to Sevilla.[48] Following Atalanta's draw against Sassuolo on 2 May 2021, Internazionale were confirmed as champions for the first time in eleven years, ending Juventus's run of nine consecutive titles.[49] However, despite securing Serie A glory,[tone] Conte left the club by mutual consent on 26 May 2021. The departure was reportedly due to disagreements between Conte and the board over player transfers.[50][51] In June 2021, Simone Inzaghi was appointed as Conte's replacement.[52] On 8 August 2021, Romelu Lukaku was sold to Chelsea for €115 million, representing the most expensive association football transfer by an Italian football club ever.[53][54]

On 12 January 2022, Inter won the Supercoppa Italiana, defeating Juventus 2–1 at San Siro. After conceding a goal to the opponent, Inter equalised with a penalty scored by Lautaro Martínez, and the match finished 1–1 in regulation time. In the last second of the extra-time, Alexis Sánchez scored the winning goal following a defensive error, giving Inter the first trophy of the season, also Simone Inzaghi's first trophy as Inter manager.[55] On 11 May 2022, Inter won the Coppa Italia, defeating Juventus 4–2 at Stadio Olimpico. After normal time had ended 2–2, with Nicolò Barella and Hakan Çalhanoğlu scoring Inter's goals, Ivan Perišić's brace in the extra-time gave Inter the win and a second title of the season.[56] The 2021–22 Serie A campaign saw Inter finish in second place, being the most prolific attacking side with 84 goals.[57] On 18 January 2023, Inter won the Supercoppa Italiana, defeating Milan 3−0 at King Fahd International Stadium, thanks to goals from Federico Dimarco, Edin Džeko, and Lautaro Martinez.[58]

On 16 May 2023, Inter defeated archrivals Milan in the semi-finals of 2022–23 UEFA Champions League and advanced to the Champions League final for the first time since 2010. However, they were defeated at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium 1−0 by Manchester City after a second half goal from midfielder Rodri.[59]
