Inter Milan are the only club in Italian football history that has never ever been demoted to Serie B. Right from the day of the day of its inception, the club has not once dipped down from the elite league.
If we have to trace back Inter Milan's early days, we will know that the club was initially a part of AC Milan. However, some of the members of the club defected to create a new club that would be more inclusive in the sense that it would allow foreign players to participate. Thus began the story of a club that would go on to create its history in football.
Inter Milan has over 100 years of legacy in football. The club's rivalry with AC Milan and its dominance in the Serie A are known by one and all. Within two years of its incorporation, the club won its first major title. Virgilio Fossati happened to be their first coach cum captain. He unfortunately lost his life in the First World War while serving his country. Inter Milan home ground is the San Siro Stadium.
The club also had a name change during the early years. Many wouldn't know, but the club was renamed to Società Sportiva Ambrosiana. These name changes went on for quite a while; however, after seeing the Inter Milan fans being adamant about the name, it was again modified to Associazione Sportiva Ambrosiana-Inter.
Inter won its first Championship title under Hungarian coach Arpad Weisz. That also happened to be the first year of the Serie A. Giuseppe Meazza still holds the record for most goals scored in the Serie A in his maiden season. Meazza is also considered to be the greatest striker in history. The Inter Milan stadium is named after him because of it.

Inter Milan's rivalry with Turin-based Juventus has become part of its age-old tradition. Italian journalist Gianni Brera gave it its famous name, which still stands today. The Derby d'Italia, or the Derby of Italy as it is now known, is one of the most talked-about rivalries in football today.
The matches between these two teams have always involved drama, anxiety, and most importantly, high-octane action. This intense rivalry got aggravated after the Calciopoli scandal. From labelling accusations of favouritism to penalty-related scandals to Juve fans egging the Internazionale team bus upon its arrival, nothing was left out of the books. Jose Mourinho got booked because of confronting the referee during one of the matches all happened when these two clubs met.
The battle between the blue and black of Inter and the red and white of Milan is referred to as the Derby di Milano. The Milan derby signifies the two different strata of society. On one hand, you have the working-class fan base of Inter, and on the other, you have the aristocratic Inter who belong to the upper class. Today, the gap may have been diminished, but the loyalty remains.
