After pushing them all the way to the final day last season,Ā InterĀ have improved and will undoubtedly be in the shake-up again, particularly with Romelu Lukakuā€™s goals back in their arsenal.

JuventusĀ can never be discounted and recruited the best centre-back in the league in last seasonā€™s MVP Bremer from Torino, which should aid Massimiliano Allegriā€™s bid to bring back his sideā€™s defensive reliability ā€“ something which was missing last year.

After an outstanding summer in the market and JosĆ© Mourinho at the helm, can anyone safely ruleĀ RomaĀ out? It would take something special but they look threatening.


Who are the newly promoted clubs? šŸ“ˆ

Yo-yo clubĀ LecceĀ are back after winning the title last season, gaining promotion for the 10th time in their history. Only three clubs (Atalanta, Brescia and Bari) have pulled off the feat more.

They narrowly pippedĀ CremoneseĀ to the championship despite the runners-up winning more games than any other side in the Cadetti but the Grigiorossi also return to the top flight after a 26-year absence.

And the latest Silvio Berlusconi project (aided by long-time right-hand man Adriano Galliani) seesĀ MonzaĀ compete in Serie A for the first time in their history. And we mean compete. After recruiting essentially a whole new XI of proven Serie A talents, the outspoken former Italian prime minister insisted he is targeting the title ā€“ and Champions League football.

The Brianzoli are the 69th different club to contest a Serie A season.


Have there been any managerial changes since last season? šŸ‘”

Not the usual widespread changes but there has still some activity on the benches.Ā Hellas VeronaĀ have brought in Gabriele Cioffi after Igor Tudorā€™s exit from the Bentegodi.

Paolo Zanetti has taken the reins atĀ EmpoliĀ after Aurelio Andreazzoli departed at the end of a season in which he comfortably kept the Azzurri up.

SpeziaĀ have brought in formerĀ UdineseĀ boss Luca Gotti, while the Friuliani have also made a change as Andrea Sottil takes charge.

Surprisingly, Fabio Pecchia walked out on Cremonese after winning promotion and was replaced at the helm by Massimiliano Alvini after his departure from Perugia.
