Serie A champions Inter Milan are set to continue their quest for domestic dominance as they travel to face Cagliari this weekend. After a commanding 4-1 victory over Monza in their season opener, Inter aims to avoid the inconsistent early form that plagued them last season, despite ultimately winning the title by a significant margin.
Their main rivals are also looking to solidify their positions. Napoli, now managed by Massimiliano Allegri, secured a hard-fought 2-0 win against Genoa thanks to late goals, and they will host Como, who drew their opening match. AS Roma, who finished third last season, started with an impressive 4-0 thrashing of Fiorentina and will face Lecce on Monday.
Several high-profile matches are on the horizon. Inter and Napoli are scheduled for a significant encounter at the San Siro, a match Allegri will be keen to approach with maximum points. Meanwhile, AC Milan, under new manager Ruben Amorim, makes his San Siro debut against Venezia. Amorim expressed anticipation for the occasion, acknowledging the responsibility that comes with managing the historic club.
Other teams are also seeking redemption and a strong start. Juventus, who are competing in the Europa League this season, began with a narrow 1-0 win and will host Parma. The early stages of the Serie A season promise intense competition as teams vie for supremacy and aim to establish momentum for the challenges ahead.
It will be a special day. I'll feel the responsibility that comes with being AC Milan coach but I'll try to enjoy my first time at San Siro.
