The 2014-15 campaign was a season of turbulent transition for Inter Milan as the Nerazzurri ultimately finished a disappointing 8th in Serie A, missing out on European qualification. The year was defined by the stunning emergence of young striker Mauro Icardi, whose phenomenal 22 league goals made him the joint-Capocannoniere for the season. Despite the mid-season return of manager Roberto Mancini, the side struggled for consistency and was unable to build on Icardi's decisive striking prowess. It was a pivotal year that marked the true beginning of the post-Treble era, cementing Icardi's status as a club talisman despite the team's frustrations.
