Season overview
After a disappointing previous season, Massimo Moratti appointed former Valencia coach Héctor Cúper as the new head coach.[1] Cúper managed to line-up a new team, buying players such as Toldo, Materazzi, Kallon and Ventola.[2] Inter had a sprint-start, topping the league and passing several challenges in Europe.[3][4][5][6] 2001 closed with Giuseppe Prisco's death, vice-chairman since 1962.[7]
In the second part of season, Inter showed signs of exhaustion: 1–2 home loss to Atalanta[8] was followed, on Thursday, by European elimination.[9] Before the last league game, against Lazio, Inter was still at the top, with one point over Juventus and two over Roma.[10] In the first half, Inter scored twice, but both goals were equalized by Lazio's Poborsky.[11] During second half of the match, Lazio - still in race for a UEFA Cup spot - scored another two goals, eventually winning the match.[11] Inter fell to third place,[11] enough to qualify for next season's Champions League playoff.[11] The Lazio-Inter game also marked Ronaldo's last appearance with Inter.[11]
