2015–16 Inter Milan season, Season overview
Internazionale bought several players (Felipe Melo, Stevan Jovetić, Adem Ljajić, Miranda, Geoffrey Kondogbia, Jeison Murillo, Ivan Perišić and Alex Telles), which were for the most part from abroad. The predictable lack of team spirit between the new arrivals (due to the fact that, only months before, they played in foreign leagues) and the absence of a basic plan (Mancini used 19 different lineups in equal games) often caused Inter's results to stem from individual elements. Despite a 4–1 defeat by Fiorentina and three consecutive draws, after the November pause Inter moved up to first place. It was retained until the end of year when the side beats a record: all goals, along the last 12 months, were scored by foreign footballers.


2015–16 Inter Milan season, Season overview
