Moratti has chosen Ranieri. Having sacked coach Gasperini after the defeat at Novara (the fourth ko of five official matches), the Inter president has decided to entrust the Inter bench to the coach.

In the past, Claudio has already shown he can do well even in difficult situations, as was shown first in Parma and then Rome. The choice of Ranieri also marks a sharp cut from the past, given his long distance squabbles with Mourinho.

That said, the new coach will certainly not be able to perform miracles: the problems shown by the team on the pitch remain and do not seem easily solvable. But having an experienced and intelligent  person on the bench, who plays with the form appropriate for the players available, represents an important first step to begin the ascent.
