The 2010–11 season was Football Club Internazionale Milano's 102nd in existence and 95th consecutive season in the top flight of Italian football.

The team took part in the Serie A, UEFA Champions League and the Coppa Italia, as titles holders of all these competitions. Internazionale won the Supercoppa Italiana against Roma, the Club World Cup against TP Mazembe and the Coppa Italia against Palermo, but lost the UEFA Super Cup to Atlético Madrid.

Season overview

Departure of Mourinho and arrival of Benítez

Less than a week after winning the Champions League, on 28 May, Inter manager José Mourinho left the club and joined Real Madrid.^[1] On the 10 June, Inter signed Rafael Benítez from Liverpool on a two-year contract, ending a six-year stint as manager of the English side.^[2]

Summer transfer window

During the summer transfer window, Inter signed Luca Castellazzi from Sampdoria, and also bought the entire rights to Jonathan Biabiany from Parma. After spending his last two seasons with Vasco da Gama in Brazil, Philippe Coutinho returned to Inter. Inter sold Ricardo Quaresma to Beşiktaş and Mario Balotelli to Manchester City, as well as also sold half of the rights to Rene Krhin to Bologna, Andrea Mei to Piacenza, and sent on one-year loan Vid Belec to Crotone, Victor Obinna to West Ham United and Andrea Ranocchia to Genoa after brought the half of his contract.

World Cup

Meanwhile, during 2010 World Cup in South Africa ten players from Inter were included in their national teams, these players were Walter Samuel and Diego Milito with Argentina; Rene Krhin with Slovenia; Dejan Stanković as a captain of Serbia; Sulley Muntari with Ghana; Wesley Sneijder with the Netherlands; Samuel Eto'o as a captain of Cameroon; and Júlio César, Maicon, and Lúcio as a captain with Brazil. The Netherlands, including Wesley Sneijder, reached and lost the final match of the tournament against Spain after extra time.

Completing the Treble

Inter started their season with a win over Roma in Supercoppa Italiana, to secure their first trophy of the season. Six days later Inter lost to Atlético Madrid in UEFA Super Cup, this defeat meant Inter lost their chance to collect six trophies in the same year, as Barcelona had done the year before. In December, Inter claimed the FIFA Club World Cup for the first time after a 3–0 win against TP Mazembe in the final.^[3]

Departure of Benítez and arrival of Leonardo

After this win, however, on 23 December, due to his poor performance in Serie A and separated by 13 points from the leader Milan, Inter announced on its website the departure of Rafael Benítez^[4] to be replaced by Leonardo the following day.^[5]

Leonardo's impact in January

Leonardo had huge impact on the team even with the absence of Samuel Eto'o due to suspension, and Wesley Sneijder and Júlio César due to injury. Inter won their match against Napoli with two goals from Thiago Motta and another one form Esteban Cambiasso. Inter continued their good start with Leonardo with five wins in row in all competitions, until they lost against Udinese, but Inter got in their feet quickly by qualifying to the semifinal of Coppa Italia and winning against Palermo after great comeback from 0–2 to win with 3–2 and two goals from new signing Giampaolo Pazzini.

Winter transfer window

Meanwhile, the winter transfer window for Inter was busy with transfers. Due to the long-term injury of Walter Samuel, Inter bought the remainder of Andrea Ranocchia's contract from Genoa^[6] to become Leonardo's first signing. On 13 January, Mancini left the club to join Atlético Mineiro.^[7] On 28 January, Inter announced the signing of Giampaolo Pazzini from Sampdoria, as part of the deal that saw Jonathan Biabiany join Sampdoria.^[8] The next day, Houssine Kharja joined Inter on a loan deal from Genoa with option to sign permanently,^[9] while Sulley Muntari joined Sunderland on loan.^[10] On the last day of winter transfer window, Inter sent Nelson Rivas to Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk on loan,^[11] and brought Yuto Nagatomo from Cesena as part of the deal that sent Davide Santon in the opposite direction, also on loan.^[12] Both Joel Obi and Nwankwo Obiora signed co-ownership by Parma, however Obi will remain with Inter and Nwankwo will spend the rest of the season with Parma. Inter also signed Marco Andreolli from Chievo in co-ownership, and will remain at Chievo the rest of the season.^[12]

Coppa Italia title

On 6 March, 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 2004–05. On 15 March, Inter had a memorable 3–2 Champions League away victory over Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena in the round of 16 after losing the first leg at home, but lost in the quarter-finals against Schalke 04. After Inter lost against Milan, and two weeks later Parma, Inter's Serie A season title ambitions had effectively ended. The only trophy the club won with Leonardo as a manager was the Coppa Italia.
