History

The first president of Inter Milan history was Giovanni Paramithiotti, who was also one of the founders of the club. [2] Paramithiotti was succeeded by Ettore Strauss just one year later following a decision from the club's associates. [2]

The longest-running presidency was Massimo Moratti's, [3] who bought the club from Ernesto Pellegrini in 1995. [4] Moratti served non-continuously as president from 1995 to 2013, with two resignations in the process: firstly in May 2009, [5] revoked the following July, [6] and secondly from January 2004 to November 2006, where the role was given to Giacinto Facchetti until his death. [7] [8]

Massimo Moratti's presidency was also the most victorious in the history of the club, [9] winning 16 trophies from 1998 to 2011 including five Serie A titles, four Coppa Italia, three Supercoppa Italiana, one UEFA Cup, one Champions League, and one FIFA Club World Cup. [10] The second most victorious presidency was that of Massimo Moratti's father, Angelo, [11] who was at the head of the club from 1955 to 1968, [12] winning three Serie A titles, two Champions Leagues, and two Intercontinental Cups. [11]

Moratti's era concluded in 2013, when the club was bought by Indonesian businessman Erik Thohir, who became the first foreign president of Inter Milan. [13] [14] In 2018, Thohir sold the club to Steven Zhang, who became the youngest-ever president of the club as well as the only foreign president to win a trophy. [15] [16]

Calciopoli was a sports scandal in Italy's top professional association football league Serie A and to a lesser extent Serie B. Involving various clubs and numerous executives, both from the same clubs and from the main Italian football bodies, as well as some referees and referee assistants, the scandal was uncovered in May 2006, when a number of telephone tappings showed relations between clubs' executives and referee organizations during the football seasons of 2004–05 and 2005–06, being accused of selecting favourable referees. This implicated league champions Juventus and several other clubs, including Fiorentina, Lazio, AC Milan, and Reggina. In July 2006, Juventus was stripped of the 2004–05 Serie A title, which was left unassigned, and was downgraded to last place in the 2005–06 Serie A, as the title was subsequently awarded to Inter Milan, and relegated to Serie B. Initially Fiorentina and Lazio were also relegated though this was later overturned on appeal, meanwhile all five clubs received points penalties for the following season. In July 2006, the Italy national football team won the 2006 FIFA World Cup, beating the France national football team 5–3 in a penalty shoot-out following a 1–1 draw at the conclusion of extra time; eight Juventus players were on the football pitch in the 2006 FIFA World Cup final, five for Italy and three for France. Many prison sentences were handed out to sporting directors and referees but all were acquitted in 2015, after almost a decade of investigation, due to the expiration of the statute of limitations, except for a one-year sentence confirmed to referee Massimo De Santis.

Sports proceedings began soon after Calciopoli, an association football scandal, was made public in May 2006. In July 2006, the Italian Football Federation's (FIGC) Federal Court of Justice started the sports trial. Juventus was relegated to Serie B with points-deduction, while other clubs only received points deductions. Most of implicated club's presidents and executives, as well as referees, referee designators, referee assistants, and FIGC higher-ups were initially proposed to be banned for life but only Juventus CEO Antonio Giraudo and Juventus general director Luciano Moggi were confirmed to be banned for life. Two criminal trials took place in Naples, the first related to Calciopoli proper, while the second involved consultancy company GEA World, which was alleged to hold power over all transfers and Italian football players and agents; all defendants were acquitted of the stronger charges. Moggi's legal defence attempted to present those new developments at the Naples court but they were refused because the court ruled that it was there to determinate whether Moggi's lifetime ban should be confirmed and the gravity of his actions, as was sentenced in the controversial 2006 sports trial.

During the 1967-68 season Football Club Internazionale Milano competed in Serie A and Coppa Italia.
