The 1996-1997 Inter Milan was an ambitious team under the guidance of Roy Hodgson, the English manager who arrived with the goal of returning the Nerazzurri club to the top. That year, Inter finished second in Serie A, behind Lippi's Juventus—who won their second consecutive Scudetto. In Europe, they participated in the UEFA Cup, reaching the semi-finals.
It was the Inter of Javier Zanetti as a defensive leader, Ivan Zamorano in attack, and Paul Ince in midfield. A squad with significant international names, a year before the arrival of Ronaldo—the Phenomenon landed in the summer of 1997 and changed everything. This shirt is Inter's from just before that explosion.
This is the home kit from that season, manufactured by Umbro—the English brand that dressed Inter during those years, in one of the most striking contracts of the era. Blue and black in vertical stripes, the club's classic design. No name or number, size L.
