Season

When Trapattoni left Inter, in order to coach Juventus again[2], the club found his substitute in Corrado Orrico.[3] Despite being UEFA Cup defending champions[4][5], the European title was lost.[6] It was due to Boavista, who passed the round with a 2–1 aggregate (2–1 and 0–0 were the results).[7][8] Midway through the league, due to the poor trend, Orrico was replaced by Luis Suárez.[9][10] The Spanish, former Inter player, did not manage to improve the performances whilst Zenga saw his relationship with supporters deteriorate.[11] Desideri, was also cut from the team after have mocking the coach (following a goal celebration).[12] Drawing half of the total games (17 out of 34) Inter failed - for the first time since 1975 - a European placement, finishing only eighth.[13][14]
