2011–12 Inter Milan season
Internazionale 2011–12 football season
The 2011–12 season was Football Club Internazionale Milano ' s 103rd in existence and 96th consecutive season in the top flight of Italian football . The team competed for the 10th consecutive season in the Champions League , breaking a record for Italian clubs.
Season overview
Massimo Moratti bets on Gian Piero Gasperini , the coach who in 2009 led Genoa to a comeback in UEFA competitions after 20 years.[ 1] Other hopes have the faces and names of Ricky Álvarez - a winger - and Diego Forlán , a centre-forward bought in order to replace Samuel Eto'o , flown in Russia.[ 1] Gasperini makes his official debut in Supercoppa Italiana , losing 2–1 to Milan and wasting the only seasonal chance to win a trophy.[ 2] He is sacked in late September, due to a bad start in domestic league : Inter is defeated by Palermo and Novara , collecting just a draw with Roma .[ 3] [ 4]
Claudio Ranieri takes his place, but is not - at least in first weeks - luckier.[ 5] Inter wins for the first time at home in October, beating Chievo 1–0.[ 6] Between December 2011 and January 2012, anyway, the side manages to get a notable comeback: it includes 7 consecutive wins in league, and 8 overall.[ 7] When this streak is stopped, however, Inter goes on the other extreme and, from 25 January to March 4, never wins a game.[ 8] [ 9] [ 10] In the match against Catania Nerazzurri are losing 2–0 when, encouraged by their fans, manage to recover the gap for a 2–2 final.[ 11] In the next matchday, the side returns to win: once again, Chievo is the «victim».[ 12] Ranieri bursts into tears after the match, tears that will be of pain when - 4 days after - Olympique Marseille knocks Inter out of Champions League .[ 13] Ranieri leads the team for other only 2 matches, being sacked after the 2–0 suffered from Juventus : it was the first derby of Italy hosted in Juventus Stadium .[ 14] The third, and last, seasonal coach is Andrea Stramaccioni (aged 36): collecting 17 points in 9 final games, he manages to reach a sixth place and the preliminaries of Europa League as result of a hard season.[ 15] [ 16] [ 17]
