1992–93 Inter Milan season

Inter Milan
1992–93 season
President	Ernesto Pellegrini
Manager	Osvaldo Bagnoli
Stadium	Giuseppe Meazza
Serie A	2nd; (in 1993-94 UEFA Cup)
Coppa Italia	Quarter-finals
Top goalscorer	League: ; Rubén Sosa (20); All: ; Rubén Sosa (22)

Inter Milan returned to the top echelon of the domestic scene, finishing second to city rivals A.C. Milan in the championship. The relatively narrow four-points margin between the two sides, was explained by Milan drawing several matches when it had already clinched the title, so the result was a lot closer than it was during the course of the season.

Following the indifferent 1991–92 season, Inter sold all of its three German internationals Andreas Brehme, Lothar Matthäus and Jürgen Klinsmann back to Bundesliga. That enabled Inter to purchase several foreign players, and especially playmaker Igor Shalimov and topscorer Rubén Sosa proved vital in Inter's resurgence. Strikers Darko Pančev and Salvatore Schillaci struggled to live up to expectations, which made Sosa's 20 league goals vital.
