The Inter Milan head coach went on to state his contentment with the fixtures list that was released by the authorities; and has sights set on the Europa League.
The Nerazzurri would be looking for a change in their fortunes for the upcoming season, as they left it a little too late to salvage some pride for the 2011-12 campaign.

Gasperini’s era at the club started miserably, and it was soon brought to an end following a result which saw them go five matches without a win. To add misery to Inter, four of those five matches happened to be defeats.
Massimo Moratti fired the manager soon after, replacing him with Claudio Ranieri. Even though Ranieri’s era started on the right foot, with a seven-match unbeaten run, his second half was much worse. The former AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 boss could only lead the Beneamata
to a solitary win in 10 matches. The win came in the Lega against Chievo Verona.
This led to the promotion of Andrea Stramaccioni up the ranks of Inter Milan, and he salvaged some pride leading the club to Europa League.
When quizzed over his views on the matches at the start of the Serie A, Stramaccioni went on to state:
“It will be an interesting start. We have two away matches in two stadiums that will be all charged up thanks to their deserved returns to Serie A football. Then in between there's the first match at the San Siro when we face Roma.”
Internazionale will be playing against newly promoted Pescara and Torino with Roma sandwiched in between the three fixtures. However, the Italian spoke of the priorities of his team and remarked:
“As for now we're only thinking of the Europa League, but we'll certainly be ready for the start of the League season that looks to be very fascinating.”
This is the first time in many years that Internazionale will not be featuring in the Champions League.
