Inter 2011

The 2012-13 season comes to Inter Samir Handanovic and Rodrigo Palacio, under the command of Andrea Stramaccioni began with positive signs, coming to be second and very close to Juventus in the first half of the Scudetto. However, Diego Milito suffered a heartbreaking knee injury that left him out for the rest of the tournament, curiously almost the entire starting team followed him. That prevented Stramaccioni from having a guaranteed eleven to play with, which forced the coach to rotate and change the starting eleven. As a consequence, the team fell apart in the final stretch of the season, being left out of European competitions for the first time in 14 years. For this reason, Stramaccioni was fired and replaced by Walter Mazzarri (former Napoli coach) as the team's new coach Nerazzurri for the 2013-2014 season.

On October 15, 2013, it is confirmed that Massimo Moratti sells 70% of the team's shares to Indonesian businessman Erick Thohir for approximately 300 million euros, becoming the club's largest shareholder. A month later, On November 15, Erick Thohir is elected the new president of Inter, while Moratti becomes honorary president after 18 years as president of the Italian club.

The club finished fifth in the first round with only 3 defeats, but being weighed down by several draws. The situation did not improve at the beginning of the second round, losing even more points with the first classified, but finally managed to maintain fifth place, which qualifies it for the 2014/15 Europa League, In what was the last season of Christian Chivu, Walter Samuel, Esteban Cambiasso, Diego Milito and the historic captain Javier Zanetti (last survivors of Inter who won the treble in 2010) in the peninsular team. After finishing this campaign, the club announced the renewal for one more year of Walter Mazzarri as the club's technical director and the appointment of Javier Zanetti as vice president.

In the 2014/15 season, Marcelo Brozovic joined the Nerazzurri. On October 23, 2014, Massimo Moratti decided to resign as honorary president. Three weeks later, on November 14, after 11 Serie A matches where the team added 16 points, Walter Mazzarri was dismissed. Just a few hours later, the appointment of his replacement was announced, Roberto Mancini, who was without a team after ending his relationship with Galatasaray SK. This change on the bench failed to reactivate to the team, which reaches the winter break of the championship located in 11th place and closes the first round as 9th classified, moving away from the positions that give access to play in Europe. Although in the final stretch of the championship, the team managed to link good results that allowed him to dream of entering the Europa League, finally being left out of European competitions.

Symbols

History and evolution of the shield

One of the founding members of Inter, a well-known painter named Giorgio Muggiani, was the one who designed the team's first shield in 1908. This design incorporated the initials "FCIM" (due to the club's initials) in the center of a series of circles that form the club's crest. While Inter have used different crests in a wide variety of designs throughout their history, the basic elements of Muggiani's design have remained constant and are currently used by the club.

In 2007, the shield returned to its pre-1999-2000 season design, but was given a more modern design and superimposed with a star (to symbolize the ten scudetti) with a lighter color scheme. This design was used until the end of 2013-14, when the club decided to remove the star from the crest but include it on the kit.

2021 Inter announces the new logo focusing on historical values by designing two elements: the I for Internazionale and the M for Milan the choice of colors in white, black and deeper blue. Gold is planned for the most iconic materials "our colors continue to be those of the sky and the night of March 9, 1908".

First self shield with registered initials (1908-28). Gold tones are added to give greater vivacity to the shield (1963-79). It includes denomination, year of foundation and a star (1998-08). Styling of the initials for best constituency (2014-21). New design (2021-Act.).

The Serpent

Animals are often used to represent soccer clubs in Italy, the collared snake, called Biscione or SERPENTINA (vipera) represents Inter. The serpent is an important symbol for the city of Milan, as it frequently appears in its heraldry as a coiled viper with a man in its jaws. The symbol is famous for its presence on the coat of arms of the House of Sforza (which ruled Milan during the Renaissance), the City of Milan, the Duchy of Milan (in the XIV, a state of the Holy Roman Empire), and Insubria (regional historic area within which the city is located).

The Biscione was part of the crest used by the club between 1979 and 1988, and also appeared on the away kit the team used for the 2010/11 season.

Uniform

Origin

Since its founding in 1908, Inter have used blue and black vertical stripes on their shirt. The blue represents the sky and the black the night, this following some lines written on the day the club was founded, chosen by Giorgio Muggiani, designer and founding member of the club. For a brief period between 1928 and 1929, Inter was forced to merge with Unione Sportiva Milanese, also changing its name and its shirt, which became white with a red cross on the chest, in honor of the flag of the Milan city. From the following championship, it returns to use the black and blue vertical stripes.

Starting in the 1966-67 season, Inter adopted the Gold Star for Sports Merit, which it uses on its shield. The star represents the victory of 10 Italian Serie A championships.

The alternate kit since 1910 is traditionally white with blue and black accents. In the 2007-08 season, the club celebrated its centenary using the historic Ambrosiana Society shirt as the second shirt, the one with the red cross on a white background.

For the 1997-98 UEFA Cup, won by Inter, he wore a shirt with horizontal blue and black stripes, a pattern repeated for the 2004-05 UEFA Champions League. From 2014 onwards it is customary for the team to present a third shirt, which has used various colors such as light blue, yellow or black, among others.

The total capacity reached 100,000 spectators, but was limited to almost 86,000 for security reasons. The last major modification was made for the 1990 World Cup.

It was only during the 1920s that the figure of the coach was established as the instructor of the tactical approaches in the game.

Since its creation on March 9, 1908, a total of sixty technical directors have passed through the nerazzurro bench –fifteen of whom were coaches for more than one period, among which it is worth mentioning the Hungarian Árpád Weisz, the Italian Giuseppe Meazza and the Spanish Luis Suárez, since each one led the team on three different occasions.

Rivalries

Milan derby

Them Typhosi of the Inter in the Giuseppe Meazza stadium.

Inter and Milan have met since October 18, 1908. The first friendly derby was played in Chiasso, Switzerland.

On June 29, 1969, after more than 60 years, the fact of playing the Milan derby abroad was repeated; that match, also friendly, was played at Yankee Stadium in New York, within the scope of the "New York City Tournament".

The history of the derby shows that Milan dominated Inter until 1929. On the contrary, in its golden period, Inter dominated its historic rival for almost 10 years.

In 32 of the 64 championships since Serie A was made up of a single group, Inter has always been ahead of the rossoneri in the standings, regardless of the seasons in which that Milan went down to Serie B (1980-81 and 1982-83).

The Italian Derby

Giuseppe Meazza during the dispute of a «derby d'Italia».

Inter and Juventus have played a total of 216 official matches. The first meeting between the two clubs was held in 1909 and the use of the term derby for this commitment was coined in 1967 by the Italian journalist Gianni Brera. Both are two of the clubs with the greatest honors in Italy, both nationally and internationally, in addition to attracting the sympathy of a large number of fans.^{[citation required]}

Their duels are perhaps the most intense Italian soccer classic played between two teams from different cities.^{[citation needed]} Until 2006, the game had the appeal of face the only two clubs that had never been relegated from Serie A (before the «Calciopoli» scandal in which Juventus was sentenced to relegation).

As of 2020 they have not met in European competitions, all their matches belonging to national competitions.
