The 2013–14 season was Football Club Internazionale Milano's 105th in existence and 98th consecutive season in the top flight of Italian football. The team competed in Serie A and the Coppa Italia, finishing fifth in the league and qualifying for the 2014–15 UEFA Europa League.

Season overview

On 24 May 2013, five days after the conclusion of the season, head coach Andrea Stramaccioni was fired[2] and replaced by Walter Mazzarri.[3] The June begun with Inter announcing the new one-year contract renewals of veterans Javier Zanetti and Walter Samuel.[4] Players such as Tommaso Rocchi and Walter Gargano left the club after their respective contract expired.[5] Antonio Cassano was sold at Parma for an undisclosed fee,[6] while Giulio Donati and Luca Caldirola were sold in Germany respectively to Bayer Leverkusen and Werder Bremen.[7][8] On 2 July, Inter and Deutsche Bank sign a partnership agreement, with Deutsche Bank becoming the club's new top sponsor.[9]

The club was very active during the summer transfer window, notably acquiring the signings of Hugo Campagnaro, Ishak Belfodil, Mauro Icardi and Marco Andreolli, with the latter returning after six years.[10][11] Dejan Stanković left the club after nine years by terminating his contract a year early by mutual consent, while youngsters Marco Benassi and Francesco Bardi signed contract extensions with the club, keeping them at Inter until 30 June 2017; they also went on loan at Livorno for the upcoming season. Backup goalkeeper Juan Pablo Carrizo also signed a new two-year contract.[12]

Without European football as a distraction, Inter finished the season in fifth place[13] qualifying for the Europa League: on September 22, Inter achieved its largest away win in Serie A beating Sassuolo 7–0.[14] Inter managed to break some records, such as most goals scored in away games (35) and goals scored by defenders (16): in opposition, it had collected the most home draws (9) and fewest penalty kicks. In November 2013, Indonesian businessman Erick Thohir was elected as new Inter president, replacing Massimo Moratti, who remained as honorary president.[15][16]

This season was the last for Javier Zanetti (who made his debut in 1995, becoming captain in 1999), Esteban Cambiasso (who had played for Inter since 2004), Walter Samuel (signed in 2005), Cristian Chivu (signed in 2007) and Diego Milito (who arrived in 2009, just prior to Inter's treble-winning 2009–10 season).[17]

Rules for classification: 1st points; 2nd head-to-head points; 3rd head-to-head goal difference; 4th goal difference; 5th number of goals scored; 6th public draw.
(Head-to-head record is applied for clubs with the same amount of points only once all matches between said clubs have been played)[19]
Notes:
  1. 1 2 Since the 2013–14 Coppa Italia champions Napoli and runners–up Fiorentina qualified for the 2014–15 European football season thus 4th, 5th and 6th in Serie A (barring any failure to receive a "UEFA licence" from the FIGC or a ban from European competition) would qualify for group stage, play-off round and third qualifying round respectively.
  2. 1 2 The FIGC rejected the application of Parma for a UEFA license, because Parma had overdue tax debt; their place went to seventh-place Torino, which had a UEFA license.
