The Inzaghi era ‘has just begun’: record-breaking points average, is this the best Inter ever?

Another success in a 2024 filled with nothing but victories.

Simone Inzaghi’s Inter doesn’t know the meaning of defeat since the start of the new year. The dominance shown against Atalanta (4-0 at San Siro) demonstrated the physical, mental, and tactical superiority of the Nerazzurri squad. Beyond the controversies sparked by refereeing decisions regarding the awarded penalty and De Ketelaere’s disallowed goal, Inter proved its effectiveness, its well-being, and, why not, the beauty of its game.

Inter in 2024

With 12 matches left in the league, the table reads Inter first with 69 point(an average of 2.65 points per game), 67 goals scored, only 12 conceded, for an extraordinary goal difference of 55. A rate that puts the Milanese side in the possibility of surpassing the 100-point mark and setting a new Serie A points record (currently at 102 thanks to Antonio Conte’s Juventus in the 2013-14 season).

With a 12-point lead over Juventus and 16 over Milan, Inzaghi’s army is on an extraordinary path. But let’s focus on the coach himself: considering all the coaches (with at least 100 matches in charge across all competitions), the former Lazio coach ranks 1st for average points obtained with 2.17. Therefore, Inzaghi is the best coach in Inter’s history from the post-war period to today.
