2001–02 Inter Milan season

Season

Toward the beginning of the 2001–02 season, Héctor Cúper was appointed new coach. Inter started well in Serie A, winning four times in five games. However, they did not manage to lead in January: A goalless draw against Lazio, in matchday 17, resulted in second place. During the return half, Inter collected 27 points in 11 matches before losing to Atalanta in early April. The side did not lose top position, but Juventus and Roma filled part of gap. Inter also suffered a disappointment in UEFA Cup, being knocked out by Feyenoord.
