Zenit St Petersburg coach Roberto Mancini believes former club Inter Milan can win the Scudetto this season.

Mancini is convinced this season's title race is wide open.

"Before we talked about Milan, Inter had difficulties a few years ago. They have built up so much patience, they are there and on the up," said Mancini.

"They can fight to win the Scudetto. Napoli and Roma last year have contended to the end, this year will be more compelling.

"Juve is always the Juve, always think they can win it: it will be a great championship because there are four or five teams that can fight for it."
