The 2014–15 season has been Inter Milan's 83rd consecutive season in the top flight of Italian football. Inter has taken part in Serie A, Coppa Italia and UEFA Europa League.

Season

Due to the retirement of club legend Javier Zanetti, at the end of previous season, Andrea Ranocchia is appointed new captain.[2] 2014–15 season starts off with Europa League play-off, in which Inter has beaten Stjarnan by a 9–0 aggregate.[3][4]

On domestic league, excepting a 7–0 win over Sassuolo,[5] Walter Mazzarri's side offers some poor performances that lead to Roberto Mancini's return.[6] Despite this change Inter keeps on a difficult season resulting in a one-man band, mainly thank to Mauro Icardi's manic goal scoring. The side ends in eighth place, not entering to European football for 2015–16 season.

About Europa League, they are knocked out by Wolfsburg in round of 16 losing both games.

Kit information

The new home kit is black with a thin blue pinstripe and also boasts a new enlarged and enhanced club crest. The club crest – in the version with the star on the top – will be present exclusively on the jersey. The shirt has a tailored black collar with a thin blue trim, which has a button at the top, and a placket with a hidden button. Inside the back of the neck is a pennant tab featuring the Saint George’s cross to represent the city of Milan’s coat of arms. On the back of the neck is "Inter" in a specially designed font, which has been used by the Nerrazzurri’s most committed fans on flags and banners inside the San Siro since the 1970s. The new home shorts are black with a thin blue stripe along each side, and the new home socks are black with a wide tonal stripe of chevrons on the back. The new away kit has a ribbed crew neck collar and is white with a tonal light grey graphic on the front consisting of lines which create a Saint George’s cross from the city of Milan’s coat of arms. Inside the back of the neck is a pennant tab featuring the proud message "Milano E’ Solo Inter" (Milan is only Inter). It is written in a specially designed font. On the back of the neck is another Saint George's cross to once again proudly represent the city of Milan's coat of arms. The new away kit is completed by white shorts and socks.[35]

Rules for classification: 1) points; 2) head-to-head points; 3) head-to-head goal difference; 4) goal difference; 5) number of goals scored; 6) 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.)
Notes:
  1. Genoa did not obtain a UEFA licence. Therefore, even if they earn the right to play in European competitions based on league position, they will not be able to participate.[36] Genoa appealed the decision, but the appeal was denied.[37]
  2. Since winners of the 2014–15 Coppa Italia, Juventus, qualified for European competition based on league position, the spot awarded to the cup winner (Europa League group stage) is passed to the fifth-placed team and the spot originally meant for the fifth-placed team (Europa League third qualifying round) is given to the highest placed team that has obtained an UEFA license and not already qualified for European competition.
