The 2025-26 Serie A season kicked off in Italy as Napoli began their campaign to defend their title after winning the 2024-25 Scudetto. Teams like Inter, Juventus, and AC Milan are gearing up to compete with the champions, while clubs such as AS Roma, Atalanta, Lazio, Fiorentina, Bologna, and Como are also eyeing spots in next season’s European tournaments.
How Allegri Turned Things Around
It took just seven matches for a notable change at AC Milan, largely due to the team’s results and performances. This turnaround is significantly credited to manager Massimiliano Allegri, who returned to the club after coaching the Rossoneri from 2010 to 2014. Currently, AC Milan leads the Serie A standings, tied with Napoli and AS Roma at 12 points. A key recent victory against Inter was aided by another standout performance from Christian Pulisic, who has been a revelation this season, scoring six goals in the first seven matches.
Allegri’s return has instilled a winning mentality and optimism in the squad, essential qualities they lacked in the previous season. His emotional comeback is set for Sunday at Allianz Stadium, where he is expected to receive a warm welcome, having previously clinched five Serie A titles and various other trophies during his earlier tenure at Juventus.
