Season overview
On August 19, 2007, Inter faced Roma in the Supercoppa Italiana, losing on penalties.[2] Roberto Mancini's side celebrated its third consecutive Scudetto, finishing above Roma again, thought it was a much closer affair, with the Nerrazzuri finishing only three points above the Giallorossi.[3] Inter clinched the title in the last match by beating Parma for 2–0. Both goals came from Zlatan Ibrahimović, who was subbed on at half-time, taking his tally to 17 goals in the league.[4] For Parma, it was the first relegation to Serie B after 18 consecutive seasons in top flight.[5]
In late May 2008, having lost the Coppa Italia final to Roma,[6] Mancini was fired by Moratti.[7] Days later, the club announced that the coach was sacked for his statement after the team second leg loss against Liverpool in the last 16 of The Champions League : this game had marked the side's elimination.[8]
