The Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti has said that Inter Milan can learn from the mistakes that they had made in the past and that they will be doing well this season. Inter Milan have invested heavily in the summer transfer window replacing a number of high profile players with solid players from the Italian Serie A.

However, it did not seem to make a lot of changes to the team after the new look side was beaten by Roma during the weekend. After the match, the Inter Milan president has said that he would ideally like to see Inter Milan win the title and they should be learning from the mistakes committed in this match if they are to do so.

One of the greatest strikers in the world – Filippo Inzaghi – has decided to announce his retirement from football. Filippo Inzaghi is best known for his spell with Italian club AC Milan, with whom he has won every major honour.

He was loved the world over, and was even subject of a tribute piece by the Liverpool fanzine anfield roar!

The 38-year-old was released by the club at the end of last season after his contract came to an end. It was initially thought that the Italian would be moving to either the Middle East or to Chinese football hoping for one final payday. However, he has finally decided to hang his boots in the best possible fashion after having gone out on a high.

With Serie A taking an extra week or so off, it's time for me to concentrate on things closer to home - in my hometown of London - Who will be the top club in London this season?

Despite winning the Champions League last season Chelsea had a domestic campaign which they would rather forget. They finished outside of the top 4 for the first time since 2003 and saw two London rivals, Arsenal and Tottenham, placed ahead of them.

Chelsea reinvested heavily this summer and have not stopped yet, they are intent on not letting that happening again but face very strong competition from the two North London clubs.

Tottenham beat Chelsea in the race for a top spot in the league only to have the merit of the finishing place taken away from them on a technicality.

Italian manager Fabio Capello is all set to become the next manager of the Russian national football team after it was revealed that he is currently in Moscow to sign a new deal.

The Russian national football team has been searching for a new manager after the departure of Dick Advocaat, who resigned from his position after the end of the Euro 2012 in order to take charge of Ajax. The Russian national team has been linked with a number of high-profile managers like Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini and Fabio Capello, who resigned from his England managerial position only in March.

It was the same old story for the Three Lions last night as Roy Hodgson’s men continued their country’s tradition of being eliminated on penalties.

No contest here to be honest. Andrea Pirlo ran the show for 120 minutes as he set the tempo of the game and made sure the other 21 players on the pitch were marching to the beat of his drum.

England were unable to put any real pressure on the Juventus playmaker as he sat deep and fired the ball around the field at his own will.

Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti has sensationally said that club football in the country should be banned for the next few years after it was revealed that the police are investigating what could be another match fixing scandal.

Italy were shocked by the match fixing scandal of 2006, which resulted in the relegation of a number of high-profile clubs most prominently Juventus.

It could be repeated this time around as well after it was revealed that a number of players and managers from clubs like Juventus and Lazio were involved in match fixing. Juventus won their 28th league title this season after being undefeated throughout the season.

Former England manager Fabio Capello has said that he will not be taking over the managerial position at AC Milan next season. Capello has been out of work since his resignation from the England managerial post.

AC Milan were extremely satisfied with manager Massimiliano Allegri last season, but it is learnt that they are extremely unhappy at the way the club did not manage to get past Barcelona in the Champions League, while they also look closer to surrendering the league title to Juventus.

AC Milan currently held leaders Juventus by three points, and failure to lift the Italian Serie A title is likely to culminate in the sacking of the manager.

The Italian football Association has announced that it will be cancelling all the features in the Italian Serie A and the Italian Serie B following the death of the 25-year-old Udinese player Piermario Morosini.

Piermario Morosini is thought to have died of heart attack, which has been an increasing phenomenon in the football world in recent times. A number of players – particularly Spanish players – have passed away while playing football on the pitch.

England midfielder Fabrice Muamba almost lost his life in the match against Tottenham, but excellent medical facilities meant that the doctors were able to save his life at the right moment.

Sportswear manufacturer Puma have now extended their deal with the Italian football Federation till the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.

The sportswear manufacturer recently signed a new contract that will also see them become the management head for the entire portfolio of the Italian football Federation, while they have also been granted a new designation as the "Official Master Licensee".

Puma will also continue to provide the FIGC's official kitwear for the most high profile team they have in their client list. Other clients for Puma at the international stage include the likes of South Africa, Uruguay – the Copa America champions, and Switzerland.

Cesare Prandelli, the Italy National Football Team coach has come out in public support of Antonio Cassano, stating that he is one of those players that he is sure to take to the European Championships of 2012 in Poland and Ukraine.

Cassano, who is currently playing for Italian champions AC Milan has not had much game time this season and was criticized from various media about his credibility to play in the European Championships.

The 28 year old striker, who began his career at AS Roma before heading to Spain and play for the Spanish giants Real Madrid before heading home for the lack of playing time with Sampdoria, joined AC Milan in January 2011 but his time on the pitch with them has been very limited.
