History

Historical Context

After Calciopoli stripped Juventus in 2006, Inter seized five straight Serie A crowns (2006-2010) and, under José Mourinho, added the Coppa Italia and UEFA Champions League in 2010, becoming the first Italian club to complete a treble. That season’s historic depth set a benchmark that still shapes Inter’s squad building and title ambitions today.
