Inter have once again had a slump in the second half of the season a report in today’s print edition of Italian daily newspaper Tuttosport highlights.

Inter manager Antonio Conte had an almost immediate impact and Inter were sitting at the top of the table back at the start of January following a 3-1 away win over Napoli but since then they have fallen eight points behind arch rivals Juventus – who are now sitting top of the table – in the following nine matches.

In addition to failing to win direct clashes with Juventus and Lazio, Inter also failed to achieve wins over the likes of Lecce, Cagliari and most recently Sassuolo.

The report goes on to add that this is far from the first time that this has happened to Inter in recent years with it also having happened to Luciano Spalletti in both of his seasons in charge and Roberto Mancini too.
