Founding of Inter Milan

9 March 1908

Inter Milan, formally Football Club Internazionale Milano, was founded in 1908 by members who broke away from AC Milan, disagreeing over limits on foreign players. The name Internazionale reflects its open-door policy, and the club plays in blue and black stripes at the San Siro. Under the coach Helenio Herrera in the 1960s, the so-called Grande Inter won two European Cups in a row and several Italian championships. In 2010, with José Mourinho as coach, it won the Italian league, the Italian cup and the Champions League in one season, a first for an Italian team. It is the only Italian club never to have been relegated from the top division.
