The 2007–08 season was Football Club Internazionale Milano's 99th in existence and 92nd consecutive season in the top flight of Italian football. This season marked Inter's centenary celebration on March 9, 2008.^[1] The club commemorated its foundation on the previous day with a party in San Siro, in which supporters and former players took part.^[1]

Season overview

On August 19, 2007, Inter faced Roma in the Supercoppa Italiana, losing on penalties.^[2] Roberto Mancini's side celebrated its third consecutive Scudetto, finishing above Roma again, thought it was a much closer affair, with the Nerrazzuri finishing only three points above the Giallorossi.^[3] Inter clinched the title in the last match by beating Parma for 2–0. Both goals came from Zlatan Ibrahimović, who was subbed on at half-time, taking his tally to 17 goals in the league.^[4] For Parma, it was the first relegation to Serie B after 18 consecutive seasons in top flight.^[5]

In late May 2008, having lost the Coppa Italia final to Roma,^[6] Mancini was fired by Moratti.^[7] Days later, the club announced that the coach was sacked for his statement after the team second leg loss against Liverpool in the last 16 of The Champions League : this game had marked the side's elimination.^[8]
