After the sad news that Fabio Quagliarella will be out for the rest of the season, Juventus got a replacement in record time. It's Luca Toni who will be replacing Quagliarella (out for 4-6 months with a torn cruciate knee ligament), the World Cup winner leaving Genoa to sign a one and a half year […]

During the winter break Serie A fans got to contemplate many things. How will Cassano do at AC Milan? What new signings will we see in the January transfer window? And how will Leonardo do at Inter Milan? The last question seems to be a little clearer after Leonardo made his debut on Inter Milan's […]

The Serie A will be resuming tomorrow, when a fresh slate of midweek games will be played. There are many interesting fixtures, but the one which I'm really looking forward to is Cagliari – AC Milan. AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri will be returning to his former club at the Stadio Sant'Elia, and he'll be […]

With a new year upon us, the January transfer window will be opening up soon. While normally we don't see super-stars switch allegiances in this period, but 2011 could be different. The names of Klose, Toni, Gilardino, and Kaka have been circulating, but can we really expect these players to move in January? Starting at […]

2010 was a bad year for Italian football. I tried to think of the positives, but very few came to mind. A disastrous World Cup in South Africa, a bad showing in the Europa League, and only a Champions League victory (guided by a Portuguese mastermind) which retains some dignity for Italian football. While […]

With the winter break, I've decided to look at this season's current top goalscorers. It has been an interesting season, and there are some veterans accompanied by new signings which populate this list. Here's a look at the top 10 Serie A goalscorers so far this season: Di Natale (Udinese) – 10 goals Cavani (Napoli) […]

Finally this power struggle is over. It was inevitable that the Spaniard was not going to get anything from Massimo Moratti for this January transfer window, and Moratti got fed up with Benitez's strange demands. It all seemed slightly better when Rafa Benitez had guided his team to the World Club Cup title, but after […]

Enzo Bearzot, a legend of Italian coaching, died today. While I can't say much about what I remember of him, I can say that he is certainly one of the greatest influences on Italian football. Although many coaches focus on drills, tactics, and fitness, Bearzot also made sure he created a tightly-knit group. One of […]

1. Juventus in second after 2-1 win over Lazio A fantastic match between two sides which battled for the win. Juventus took the lead in the first minutes with Chiellini powering his way through a weak Lazio defence on a corner, heading in a temporary lead for the bianconeri. But Lazio fought back, and about […]

Juventus suffered last season following one of the worst campaigns in their glorious history. There were multiple reasons behind their collapse such as instability due to coaching changes, a number of injuries to key players, the management's bad decisions in the transfer market and the age factor catching up with star players among other factors. […]

The Serie A is getting more and more exciting, especially after these recent results, and the matches which will be played this Sunday. Napoli got an important 1-0 win away against Genoa, Palermo came back to beat Parma 3-1 at the Renzo Barbera, and Udinese also completed a comeback win at home, 2-1 over Fiorentina. […]

Although Rafa Benitez's Inter has qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League in the same position that Mourinho's did a season ago, things look very different for the Spaniard. This is after their 3-0 loss away against Werder Bremen, and Benitez's team played poorly. With this latest loss, Benitez has racked up seven […]

It's the final group stages matchday of the Champions League, and Roma and Inter Milan need to win their midweek matches. After such a poor display from Italian sides in the Europa League, the Serie A needs to hold its head high and have three teams go into the knockout stages of Europe's top competition. […]

Lazio inflicted another defeat on Serie A champions Inter with coach Rafael Benitez's position becoming weaker and weaker with every passing week. The victory against Parma in the previous round was by a big score raising hope the Nerazzurri will be back on the right track yet many failed to note the Ducali are having […]

This weekend in the Serie A, among the results there were plenty of 1-1 draws, a goalless draw, a couple of 3-1 wins, and then a 5-2! Yes, a 5-2 win took place in the Serie A this weekend, and it was Inter Milan which defeated Parma in the seven goal thriller. This weekend there […]
