In 2019, the club appointed Samir Handanovic as the new squad captain. The goalkeeper replaced former Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi. Although his contract was set to expire in July 2022, the club recently announced a one-year contract extension for Handanovic. Speaking to InterTV, the skipper revealed his delight, saying,

"I’m very happy and proud to be an Inter player and to captain this club. It is a privilege that will continue for me. Playing for Inter means having a great desire to win, history shows us that we play to win titles here.”

Inter Milan's coach

Long-time Nerazzurri coach Antonio Conte was replaced by former Lazio coach Simone Inzaghi in 2021. After leaving Inter, Conte was appointed as the head coach at Tottenham Hotspur.

Inter Milan's owners

The club is currently by Italian businessman Massimo Moratti, Indonesian businessman Erick Thohir, and the Zhang family. Reportedly, the owners have used about $1 billion since acquiring the team in 2010, making Inter Milan one of the most expensive football teams in 2022.

Inter Milan's stadium

Since 1947, the Nezzarruni squad has used San Siro Stadium as its home base alongside its longtime rival, AC Milan. However, Forbes recently reported that Inter Milan will get a new stadium by 2026/27.

In addition, the stadium, whose estimated cost is about a billion dollars, will be shared by the two San Siro giants, AC Milan and Inter Milan. Speaking at the Dubai 2020 Expo, the club president, Iyan Gazidis, revealed that the arena that will feature a 50,000-square-metre green space and public sports facilities is designed by the Populous firm.
