In the title of Italian football championship chasing Serie A club Inter Milan, Simone Inzaghi, substitutes and tactical flexibility have been key to their remarkable season. With a wealth of options and a management team that understands the importance of keeping everyone happy, Inzaghi has built a tightly-knit squad that looks on track to win a historic double.

Inter have not lost a match since early December and their confidence and quality in Italy's top flight has seen them open up a 10-point gap at the top of Serie A. They are firmly in control of their destiny and look set to win their first league title since 2010. That ambition is also not at the expense of their Europa League commitments, where they are also still in the running to make history and emulate their 2010 colleagues.

It's an unlikely scenario that Inter are in a position to win every competition they are in. For several weeks they have had a packed schedule that has seen them play often twice a week, and sometimes twice in three or four days. Even when they have been forced to make changes, the squad has continued to deliver impressive results.

That's testament to the work of Inzaghi and his staff, as well as the collective spirit and quality in the squad. Inter have also managed to stay relatively injury-free, with key players returning at crucial times such as Edin Dzeko, who scored twice against Lazio at the weekend, and Stefan de Vrij, who has been ever-present at the heart of their defense.

The former Lazio coach has rotated his squad effectively, understanding that the crowded fixture list would eventually catch up with his players. That has also allowed those on the fringes of the first team to play an important role in the campaign. It's not just a title race that Inter are involved in, but a battle to secure qualification for the Champions League.

They have the small matter of a Coppa Italia final against city rivals Milan later this month, and with Champions League football already secured for next season, they are well-placed to achieve the double. If they can hold onto the advantage in the league and overcome a strong Napoli side to win the Coppa Italia, it will be one of the most successful seasons in modern history for the Nerazzurri.

That would be a fitting end to a season that has seen Inter prove themselves to be one of the most formidable forces in Italian and European football.
