Antonio Conte is back in Italian football and is charged with restoring the glory days to Inter after several years of underachieving.
The former Italy, Juventus and Chelsea coach represents a significant coup for Inter, who ditched Luciano Spalletti at the end of last season.
Inter only just scraped a Champions League spot on the final day of the previous campaign and are now nine years on from their most recent Serie A success.
The squad has been bolstered by some new arrivals, with Nicolo Barella, Stefano Sensi, Valentino Lazaro and Diego Godin among those to join, while Matteo Politano s purchase option was triggered and George Puscas returned from loan in the hope of having a squad role.
Despite the investment – and aside from the potential purchase of Manchester United s Romelu Lukaku – it is clear Conte has plenty of work to do.
They will be desperate to hit the ground running, but their opening seven fixtures offer plenty of challenges. All dates and times could be subject to changes for live broadcast and European commitments.
