The 2008–09 season was Football Club Internazionale Milano's 100th in existence and 93rd consecutive season in the top flight of Italian football. This was the first season for new Inter manager José Mourinho.

Season overview

After Roberto Mancini's departure, José Mourinho became the new coach of Inter. The Portuguese manager won a trophy at his debut, Supercoppa Italiana, defeating Roma on penalties. He planned to use a 4–3–3 formation, with the new arrivals Amantino Mancini and Quaresma as wingers beside Zlatan Ibrahimović. As the 4–3–3 soon failed, Mourinho reviewed his ideas, switching to the 4–3–1–2 Mancini had previously used: Stanković acted as playmaker, behind Ibrahimović and his offensive partner (Adriano, rarely Cruz or Crespo, then Balotelli). The performance of the team immediately improved, and Inter once again won the Scudetto (fourth in row), ten points clear of Juventus and Milan.
