Sven-Goran Eriksson believes Inter and Milan can challenge Juventus for the Scudetto this season.

“I think Inter and Milan have narrowed the gap which separated them from Juventus in recent seasons,” Eriksson, now working in China, told Gazzetta dello Sport.

“In my opinion they can aim for the Scudetto.

“I was unfortunately not able to meet with [Milan Coach Sinisa] Mihajlovic [when both clubs were in China], but I met with Mancio [Inter Coach Roberto Mancini], I told him he has to win the Scudetto.

“He assured me he’ll try, especially if he’s able to bring in some of the players he’s still missing.

“Then if an already competitive Milan get [Zlatan] Ibra[himovic]…

“Is it possible? I think so. Ibra still has a bond with Milan, his return would be good for him, as well as the Rossoneri.”

The former England manager is currently in charge of Shanghai SIPG, will be attend the Supercoppa Italiana between Juventus and Lazio in the city on Saturday?



“Of course, I wouldn’t miss it. Will I cheer for Lazio? Well, yes, but I’m worried they don’t have much chance against Juve.”
