1962–63 Inter Milan season

Prior to the 1962–63 season, Helenio Herrera was confirmed despite a doping scandal.[1] The main signing was Jair da Costa, summoned-up after the World Cup from the Brazilian team.

Inter suffered a very poor start to the season: the side collected just seven points in the first seven games, winning only twice[2] before beating six of eight of the next opponents.[2] In early January they moved into second place, a point behind Juventus.[2] The second half of the season marked a clear comeback, with 21 points earned until late April.[2] With three games left, Inter won away due to Mazzola's goal: the next week Inter lost 3–0 by Roma, but stayed in first placed, due to Juventus' draw in Mantua.[2] Inter ended with 49 points, four over Juventus and six over Milan.[2] It was the first national title under Angelo Moratti's leadership, and the first in 10 years since 1952–53.
