Inter Milan owner Massimo Moratti claims that new coach Jose Mourinho is already showing he's the best in the business.
Mourinho drew his first competitive match in charge 1-1 at Sampdoria but has since won three games in a row, including a 2-0 success at Panathinaikos in the Champions League.
It means Inter head into Sunday's much-anticipated Milan derby in fine fettle and Moratti puts that down to the boss.
"When I brought him in I thought I was bringing in the best. He's showing that and I'm delighted," said Moratti.
At the beginning of the weekend Lazio were top from Atalanta as the only two teams with 100 percent records.
But by the end of the weekend the Serie A table had taken on a more familiar look with Inter top from Juventus in second.
"Are Juve the biggest rivals? Milan scare me and AS Roma are getting back to form. We're only at the beginning and we need to show our own strengths," added Moratti.
"It (the league table) is interesting most of all for the journalists because it gives them something to write about.
"And it's nice also because these are traditionally the two best supported teams in Italy and hence more people are interested in us than any other two teams."
