WHAT NEXT FOR INTER MILAN

Looking back almost four years ago on the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu pitch, a bunch of elated young and not so young men celebrated winning the top prize in European club football. Covered in Blue and Black, the joy and ecstasy that covered the city of Milan was back again, but not for long. The mastermind behind this great achievement left along with his magic .
Fast fowarding to four years after this and the magic has still not been found. Jose Mourinho's departure and Massimo Moratti's insistence on keeping players are were way past it coupled with the signings of even poorer and older players did the side no good. The quest to find that stability both on and off the field has led to the signing and sacking of six managers in that period. Massimo Moratti, the Petroleum tycoon oversaw the rise and fall of Inter and decided to let go off 70% of his share in the club to Indonesian Business man Erick Thohir.
Mr Thohir's reign has already seen the departure of Walter Mazzarri for the return of Roberto Mancini to the Appiano Gentile to take over the helm of affairs from the dugout. His return has brought smiles to the faces of some Inter fans but for how long can they last ? The domestic trophy laden period that marked his first stint as well as his successes in England barring a repeat of his seemingly dreadful spell in Turkey with Galatasaray, this is a match made in heaven for Inter Milan.
It is worth noting that during his all his stints, there was a lot of money to splash which could afford him the players needed to win it all. On his second coming, everything has changed; there's no more Moratti funded transfers, a totally new look team. This could be the beginning of the end even before he begins as Erick Thohir has proven to be quite frugal in his dealings.
Mancini must quickly find a way to integrate his side to suit the team and the league in general. Dealing with talented but volatile characters such as Pablo Osvaldo while keeping Mauro Icardi and the others happy shouldnt be a problem as he proved that with Mario Balotelli at Milan and at Manchester City.
The main aim will be to impress in the league and Europa League while working hard to make a return to the Champions League. This seems quite impossible given the task they face in Juventus and AS Roma, Napoli and a resurgent but inconsistent AC Milan.
Mancini has proven before that he can get the best out of a side but without the needed funds and preferred personnel, taking into consideration the considerable quality of Juventus, Roma, Napoli, Milan and the others, his second stint might be more difficult than the first .
Mr. Mancini, though this may be the toughest job since you got into the managerial spotlight, the Inter faithful believe in your inherent ability to bring back the joy and trophies but for we the neutrals, we sit back and watch with keen eyes to assess your second stint.
Buona Fortuna Roberto.
