"We will keep fighting for the third place til the very end. Why giving it up earlier?" said Andrea Stramaccioni at the end of Fiorentina-Inter. A goalles draw in Florence is not enough to stop Inter coach's will to fight for a Champions League spot, but more than enough to spread the word about a pre-agreement reached between Moratti and Claudio Prandelli - the Italian national team current manager should head towards Appiano Gentile after Euro 2012.

Inter beat Siena 2-1 and climbed to the 7th place, only six points behind third placed Lazio.

With six games still to play, Nerazzurri have a very slim chance to clinch the third Champions League spot but, at least, they are back in contention to be in Europe even next season. Europa League 2012-13 is a more viable target. While that could be a distraction for a club of Inter's status, to miss out European football would be a huge stain.

When you say 'start with a bang'... To win your first match in charge 5-4 is something that not even Leonardo managed to achieve. But as Inter Milan's new manager Andrea Stramaccioni did. Well done.
