The 2015–16 season has been Football Club Internazionale Milano's 84th consecutive season in the top-flight of Italian football. Having finished 8th the previous season, Inter has competed only in domestic competition, in Serie A and the Coppa Italia.

Season summary

Despite the 8th place, got in 2014–15 season, would not be useful to compete into European competitions, Inter had still taken a chance: however it fails too, due to UEFA decision about Sampdoria's fact concerning licence.[2] Some notable purchases are Ljajić and Jovetić, who scores 3 goals in first 2 games giving Inter a total of 6 points.[3] In late September, after league stop, the side has collected 3 other wins reaching 15 points.[4] The first loss has came against Fiorentina, that in matchday 6, has won 1–4 in Milan.[5] In following weeks, Inter obtains 3 draws and such other wins retaining first place also in November.[6] On December 15, Inter celebrates a year of goals scored by only foreign players.[7] They top during Christmas break too, as 1–2 defeat against Lazio is not heavy.[8]

In matchday 19, Inter is beaten at home by Sassuolo (which gets the first win over "nerazzurri" in Serie A) leaving mid-season title to Napoli.[9] The beginning of second half marks a down-trending, as the side collects just 9 points in 8 games.[10] In add to this, Mancini's team is knocked out in Coppa Italia by Juventus: against Italian champions, a 3–0 comeback in return match is not enough as "bianconeri" win by shoot-out.[11] In last matches of league, Inter wastes a notable amount of points but also manages to get a fifth place which qualifies the side for Europa League group stage.[12]
