Season overview

After Roberto Mancini's departure, José Mourinho became the new coach of Inter.[1] The Portuguese manager won a trophy at his debut, Supercoppa Italiana, defeating Roma on penalties.[2] He planned a 4–3–3 formation, with the new arrivals Amantino Mancini and Quaresma as wingers beside Zlatan Ibrahimović.[3]

As the 4–3–3 soon failed, Mourino reviewed his ideas switching in a 4–3–1–2 like the predecessor: Stanković acted as playmaker, behind Ibrahimović and his offensive partner (Adriano, rarely Cruz or Crespo, then Balotelli).[4] The quality of playing is immediately awake, and Inter came on the prints of previous season winning again the Scudetto (fourth in row), 10 points clear Juventus and Milan.[5]
