Inter’s improvement under Antonio Conte has only been minimal compared to last season according to a report in today’s print edition of Italian daily newspaper Tuttosport.

Looking at points in the table alone, the improvement has been concrete in this regard compared to last year as Inter seem far more certain of achieving a Champions League place sooner than the last day of the season, as has been the case in each of the past two seasons under Spalletti.

Inter’s only hope of winning a trophy this term is by winning the Europa League in August and the report from the Turin based news outlet does not even mention Inter as possible candidates to win the Serie A title this term.

The report also states that it must be remembered that Spalletti had to deal with the Mauro Icardi saga from February onward last year whilst Inter had the biggest transfer window in club history ahead of this season.
