Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini says they'll be capable of challenging for the Scudetto next season.

Mancini is pleased with the response of the players to his methods.

"We lost the first two matches, but we have been growing rapidly," said Mancini to Corriere della Sera.

"I'm here because I believe Inter can return to being what it was.

"I'm here to provide change. Having to think of the third place bothers me a little, next year we'll be fighting for the Scudetto."
