MILAN: Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini firmly believes his team will be challenging for a Champions League berth until the end of the season.

“There’s a long way to go,” Mancini told a news conference on Saturday.

“I’m sure we will be fighting for third place till the end and I know we can finish there. Now’s not the time to look at the tables. The key is to keep on improving.” Mancini began his second Spell in charge of Inter by taking one point from three games before they won at Chievo on Monday.

Inter face Lazio on Sunday and Mancini has never lost to his former team.
