Champions League back on the agenda for Inter Milan

MILAN — Inter Milan’s revival since the departure of coach Claudio Ranieri has been so impressive that they are openly talking of the Champions League, something which seemed beyond their reach only four weeks ago.

Unbeaten in five games under interim coach Andrea Stramaccioni, Inter, who were 10 points adrift of a third-placed finish and a place in the Champions League playoff rounds when Ranieri left, have reduced the gap to a mere three.

There has even been talk that Stramaccioni, Inter’s fifth coach in the last two seasons, could be given the job permanently if Inter manage to qualify.
