Stramaccioni sacked by Inter
Inter have announced that Andrea Stramaccioni will not be Inter’s coach anymore. The announcement didn’t surprise anyone as Inter had a disastrous season.
The Serie A giants failed to live up the expectations this season as they finished the season on a disastrous 9th place and they will not play in any European competition next year. This is a negative record for Inter. Unfortunately bad luck and injuries were the main factors that led to this situation.
Since 2010 when they won the treble Inter are into a continuous fall.
Stramaccioni was appointed as Inter’s coach last year. He replaced Claudio Ranieri and everybody though that he will have a bright future. The 37 years old coach won the first trophy with Inter Primavera in the NextGen competition.
The new coach name is not known yet but it is believed that he will be Walter Mazzarri who already announced that he will leave Napoli at the end of the season.
Milito out for the rest of the season
Last night Milito suffered a bad injury, during the Europa League game against CFR Cluj, which will keep him out of the football field for the rest of the season. The Argentinian international started the game after a period of absence, caused by other injuries, but was replaced after only seven minutes.
Rodrigo Palacio came in and he scored both goals of the game with wonderful finishing. Milito will need to have surgery as the anterior and collateral ligaments were affected.
This is really bad news for all Inter fans as Inter do not have too many options in attack. Milito was the only advanced forward in the squad as Cassano and Palacio are both more like a trequartista.
Some of the fans fear that this could have been the last match for Milito in Inter shirt. This injury might force “Il Principe” to retire.
Milito could as-well leave Inter as he doesn’t want to renew his contract with a cut on the salary and that might be fatal for him. It’s well know that Sneijder, Ju;io Cesar, Lucio, Maicon all left the club because they had huge salaries and did not accept salary cut.
Will Inter sign Icardi in the summer?
Latest rumors from Serie A suggest that Mauro Icardi from Sampdoria will join Inter Milan in the summer. The Sampdoria staff have admitted that there were some enquirers on the player from Inter but they are hoping that the Argentinean striker will sign a new contract and will remain at Stadio Luigi Ferraris.
The 19 years old striker is at his first season in Serie A and already impressed after scoring eight goals, with two of them in the victory 2-1 against leaders Juventus. Icardi started his career at Vecindario. In 2008 he moved to Barcelona youth team where he spent 3 years before joining Sampdoria.
Roma, Napoli and Manchester City are also interested in signing the player.

Will Sneijder replace Scholes at Manchester United?
Wesley Sneijder is one of the best and one of the most expensive central midfielders in Europe, but that would not be a problem for a club like Manchester United.
Sir Alex Ferguson declared at the end of last season that he is willing to change the midfield buy adding some quality players to the squad. More than that Hargreaves contract was not extended and Paul Scholes retired.
All this tings left Ferguson no option than spending on a quality midfielder and Wesley Sneijder is probably the best solution.
Inter would allow the player to leave for a fee of around €40 millions. If the clubs will agree on a price then Inter could use that sum of money to rebuild the ageing squad.
Inter won the treble in 2010 and many specialist considered that most of the players reached their best and a rebuild-ed squad is more than necessary.
If the move will be done Sneijder has the possibility to win the title in the fourth championship as he already won it in Holland, Spain and Italy.
Anyway the premier league betting experts do not give Manchester too many chances of signing him in the near future. William Hill offers free football bets on the Premier League to Serie A and FIFA World Cup.
Inter Milan lose the derby with AC Milan
Few months ago Inter’s chances to win the Serie A were very small but with the arrival of Leonardo as coach, Inter miraculously returned to fight for the title. They arrived to just two points from the leader AC Milan.
Inter were the main favorites to win the championship, especially as they were champions from the last five editions of the Serie A, that until this stage when they met the leader AC Milan.Inter fans put their hope in this match, and in case of a victory they would have moved to first position.
But things were not so simple. AC Milan managed to win the derby on Saturday evening and also to strengthen their leading position, while Inter were overtaken by Napoli and dropped to 3rd position.Milan distanced to 5 points from Inter andInter’s chances to win Seria A have decreased dramatically .
AC Milan won 3-0 ,goals scored by Alexandre Patoin the first and 62’th minute and Cassano who scored in the 90th minute for a 3-0.
After this match Inter are trying to return title battle but chances are very small since there are only seven rounds to play.
Will Sneijder leave Inter for Manchester United?
Sneijder came at Inter Milan because of Mourinho. The Portuguese coach was the one who insisted to have him at Giuseppe Meazza.
When Mourinho left Inter for Real Madrid a few players also wanted to leave and Sneijder was one of them.
Sir Alex Ferguson is a declared fan of the Dutchman. Ferguson tried to take Sneijder at Old Trafford also last summer but Inter refused to let go one of his best men. Sneijder was one of the favorites for the Golden Ball but the trophy was won by Messi after all.
Fergusson declared that he intends to change the midfield line this year and considers Sneijder the perfect replacement for Scholes.
Massimo Moratti declared that he will let Sneijder go only if the player wants this and the offer is a good one for the club.
The Dutch international started his career at Ajax. He moved to Real Madrid in 2007 where he played for 2 seasons before joining Inter. Sneijder has 20 goals in 75 appearances for the national team
Inter Milan to play Schalke 04 in Champions League quarter-finals
Today was held in Nyon the draw for the Champions League quarter-finals.
The remaining teams in competition were Internazionale Milano, Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Chelsea Londra, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Şahtior Doneţk and Schalke 04.
Everyone expected that in the quarters to be at least one derby and this happened.
The most awaited and most balanced game seems to be between Chelsea and Manchester United, which is a remake of the UEFA Champions league final from the season 2007-2008 when Manchester United won the trophy after penalties. Real Madrid will play against Tottenham Hotspur and the spanish team seems to be favorite. FC Barcelona will play against Shakhtar Donetsk and Inter Milan against the Germans from Schalke 04.
The game between Inter And Schalke seems to be the most unbalanced of all, where Inter Milan are the owners of Champions League trophy and Schalke are the lowest ranked team with chances to win the trophy.
Thus at first glance Inter have a great chance to move on, thing which is necessary to try to defend the trophy won last year.
