Just been a year since the Inter Milan football glory reached with the achievement of the Italian League, Cup and Champions League, but since then it seems an eternity has passed. Since Jose Mourinho left the Ciudad Deportiva de Appiano Gentile, Nerazzurri fans have gone from hope to sorrow. From glory to failure. And it's only been, just a day like today, sixteen months since the neroazzuros on the sky of Madrid their third European Cup.

The replacement of the Portuguese was Rafa Benitez. A DNA technical champion, supported by an unblemished first in Valencia and later in Liverpool, where he had also reached the European throne. But in Italy, despite its cache, took nothing and less . Massimo Moratti did not strengthen the team and asked Benitez, the results did not follow and the relationship was cooling to the point where the intersection of statements sent to limbo the relationship between the leader and Benitez, who packed up much earlier than expected.

Then came Leonardo, who had previously directed to Milan. The picture changed. Somehow stability returned. The Brazilian was brought on the market all winter, which was denied to his predecessor. But it was worth to defend a title that eventually led Milan Ibrahimovic, Robinho, Cassano and co. For many, a team of dinosaurs by the veteran that treasures its staff and the lesser of a championship in steady decline. For others, the resurgence of a large roar again.

The season was saved by the pursuit of the Cup, as the Club World Benitez had just harvested was taken into account. Serie A runners-up, Leonardo PSG agreed leave of petrodollars and the bench again become an orphan. For the project, and after many names, which finally took over the club was Gian Piero Gasperini, who had made ​​a name in Genoa, who managed to climb up, place in Europe and love thanks to players like Thiago Motta or Diego Milito, who this season have at Inter.

Gasperini, who was dismissed from his former club despite the large investment, was chosen from a list which also included Marcelo Bielsa, Villas-Boas and Sinisa Mihajlovic. But amid the progress of the star of the team, Eto'o, and staged a daring with which he did not agree nor his own men, the door has been open just started the championship. The 3-4-3 that gave so much joy in Genoa in the locker room conceded Inter has not won a game and that now occupies the relegation zone.

The straw that broke the camel's patience Moratti has been modest defeat at Novara in Silvio Piola. The final 3-1 against a team newly promoted sentenced Gasperini, who also fell in the opening against Palermo (4-3) and drew at home to AS Roma (0-0) Luis Enrique. Interestingly, the team will be a capital exentrenador the Inter directing the remainder of the season and one more, as long as the accompanying results. Claudio Ranieri was hired yesterday launched today and will face the challenge of reviving the Lombard squad. The Italian, along with that of Quique Flores and Luis Figo are the names that toyed with the direct interest to seize power last San Siro bench.

Not exactly the coach of Valencia and Atletico a rookie. In addition to leading successfully ché box (possibly his best years as a coach) has gone through Chelsea, Parma, Juventus and Roma. Although the titles to their credit has not been accompanied and is accused of lacking ambition, is likely to bet on the Italian 4-4-2 normally used on their computers. It has the advantage also of having a workforce that can provide warranty work. But that
