The Nerazzurri have been a runaway force throughout the season, claiming the Scudetto in dominant fashion. Not only did they seal the title with a victory in the Derby della Madonnina, but it also propelled them past their rivals Milan, who were tied with them on 19 titles before. This triumph marks a remarkable turnaround for Inter since Zhang’s appointment as the club’s youngest-ever chairman in 2018. After years of struggling, the club has returned to its former glory, winning the Coppa Italia in 2022 and reaching the Champions League knockout stages for the first time in a decade.
Despite financial challenges and the departures of key players like Romelu Lukaku and Achraf Hakimi, Inter has remained resilient under manager Simone Inzaghi. They have dominated Serie A in 2023-24, potentially breaking the 100-point barrier. The team’s remarkable derby dominance, with six consecutive victories against Milan, highlights their resurgence.
However, there are concerns for the Nerazzurri. Speaking at the Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai, Zhang acknowledged some issues but remained committed to the club’s success. Inter’s triumph is a testament to the club’s determination and the transformative leadership of Steven Zhang, who has overseen their remarkable rise to the pinnacle of Italian football.
