Inter: Spalletti can improve Mourinho’s record

Inter face Verona at the Bentegodi tonight with the nerazzurri who need a win to leapfrog Juventus and Lazio and make return in second place, two points behind table leaders Napoli. The Serie A giants have a chance to register a new high in the club’s history.

The nerazzurri, in fact, have never racked up 29 points in the opening 11 games of the season, not even in the 2009/10 campaign, the year of the treble, when Mourinho was in charge of the Benamata.

José Mourinho managed ‘only’ 28 points in the opening 11 games of the season and Spalletti has a chance to improve the record of the Special One tonight.

Eight years ago, however, 28 points were enough to be table leaders in Italy. Inter, in fact, were enjoying a seven point lead on second-placed Juventus at the time, whilst now Napoli have 31 points in the opening 11 games of the season.
