Inter Milan have clinched their first Serie A title in 11 years, ending Juventus' nine-year dominance as Italian champions.

The three points, courtesy of Christian Eriksen and Achraf Hakimi goals, already brought an end to Juventus' nine-year winning cycle which was kick-started by Conte himself in 2012 and continued by Max Allegri and Maurizio Sarri last term.

The much-coveted Scudetto ends the Nerazzurri's decade-long trophy drought and represents their first league title since 2010 when Jose Mourinho led a side including Samuel Eto'o, Wesley Sneijder and Patrick Vieira to a Serie A, Coppa Italia and Champions League treble.
Twelve different managers including Claudio Ranieri, Walter Mazzarri and Roberto Mancini took the reigns at San Siro in the following nine years but the club languished in Serie A, finishing as low as ninth, failing to reach a major final and enduring a six-year absence from the Champions League.

He made sure that one of Italy's biggest sleeping giants could finally return to their former glory, instantly leading them to a second-placed finish and their first European final in ten years.
Yes, he came in with a high degree of expectation and was positively backed in the transfer market, but he quickly identified the team's strengths and weaknesses and successfully developed a recognisable style of play which so often marked the achievements of his career - based on resolute defending and devastating counter-attacks.
