The 1999–2000 season was Inter Milan's 91st in existence and 84th consecutive season in the top flight of Italian football.

Season

Following a poor previous season, Inter welcomed the arrival of Marcello Lippi on the bench.[1] Striker Christian Vieri was acquired from Lazio for €49,000,000 which broke the world transfer record at the time.[2][3] The other purchases were Di Biagio, Peruzzi, Blanc (France national team captain), Panucci, Jugović, and the winter window added Iván Córdoba and Seedorf.[4]

Vieri proved to be an excellent goalscorer, scoring five times in first the month of the league, bringing Inter to the top of the standings.[5] However, when autumn came, the side lost him and his partner, Ronaldo, to heavy injuries.[6] Inter was not able to retain their advantage: Lazio and Juventus surpassed them, leaving Lippi's side in fourth place. After the regular season, Inter beat Parma in a play-off awarding the last spot of the Champions League: Inter won 3–1, with two goals scored from Roberto Baggio in his last appearance for the side.[7] Inter also had the chance to win a trophy but failed, losing the final of the Coppa Italia to Lazio for a 2–1 aggregate.[8]
