1983–84 Inter Milan season
# 1983–84 Inter Milan season

## Season

Coached by Luigi Radice, Inter had an awful start to the season failing in the Coppa Italia in the group stage, and losing three of four of the first league matches: fans used to describe it as a year of tears and blood. When the spring of 1984 was about to begin, Ernesto Pellegrini became the new chairman buying the club from Ivanoe Fraizzoli.

Inter resulted to have the best defence of the league, conceding only 23 goals in 30 games and achieving fourth place. This placement allowed the side take part in the 1984–85 UEFA Cup.
