F.C. Internazionale Milano will take part in the 2012–13 season of the Italian Serie A. They will also take part in the Coppa Italia and UEFA Europa League. F.C. Internazionale Milano endured its worst domestic season since 1993–94, following a serious knee injury on superstar Diego Milito and an Achilles tendon injury for Javier Zanetti. Contrary to the previous one and a half seasons under the guidance of Andrea Stramaccioni, Inter Milan' offense and defense malfunctioned, and in May Andrea Stramaccioni was sacked by the club, with successful former Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri taking over on the next day. But following that narrow defeat, Juventus had to settle for the UEFA Cup the next season, due to a lowly seventh place in the league. But following that sacked of Stramaccioni, Inter Milan missed out European competition for the next season, due to a lowly ninth place in the league.

Inter's under-19 squad, will play in the NextGen Series. They are the current champions, having won the tournament in the 2011–12 season.
