New Internazionale head coach Rafa Benitez is determined to build on victory in the Italian Super Cup and try to repeat the club's successes of last season.

Having opened the new campaign with a 3-1 win over Roma, Benitez is keen to try and emulate the feats of former Inter boss Jose Mourinho - who crossed swords with the Spaniard when both men worked in England.

Benitez told AS: "It's the first official trophy Inter have won in this new season.

"The coach didn't win it, but the club and the players who have played very well did, as did the fans who constantly support the team.

"Then the coaches come into play. Roberto Mancini won here, then Jose Mourinho.

"Now it's up to me and I hope to win more than them, also because there are six trophies that await us.

"Mourinho forged a competitive team and won titles and the players know that it's inevitable comparisons will be made.

"But they know that the future is a new stage, a new coach and the possibility for all of them to triumph again."
