The 2000–01 season was Inter Milan's 92nd in existence and 85th consecutive season in the top flight of Italian football.

Season overview

Inter hoped to improve from past seasons;[1] goalkeeper Angelo Peruzzi was replaced by Frenchman Sébastien Frey ten years his junior, while Fabio Macellari did the same with Grigorios Georgatos on the left side of defence.[1] The burden of scoring was given to Hakan Şükür and Robbie Keane,[1] waiting for Vieri's recovery and Ronaldo's return.[2] Inter did not pass the Champions League preliminary round: they were defeated by Helsingborg, losing on a 1–0 aggregate.[3][4] The side then lost the Supercoppa Italiana, defeated 4–3 by Lazio.[5] Coach Lippi lost instead his job in October, after the 2–1 defeat to Reggina in Serie A.[6]

His place was taken by Marco Tardelli,[7] who achieved up and down results.[8] In the rest of season Inter suffered further blows: a 6–1 defeat to Parma and a second European flop, against Alavés in the UEFA Cup.[9][10] Inter supporters flew off the handle when, during a match with Atalanta, when they threw a scooter from the stands.[11] On following matchday, the side lost again: Milan won 6–0 in the Derby della Madonnina.[12] Inter finished fifth in the league with 51 points, two more than rivals Milan.[13]
