The 2025-26 Serie A season is heading towards its climax, with Napoli defending their title from last year. However, it's Inter who stands poised to clinch the Serie A crown this season. Several clubs, including AC Milan, Napoli, AS Roma, Atalanta, Juventus, and Como, are vying for spots in next season's European tournaments. A highlight of this week's matches is the eagerly anticipated home game of AC Milan against Juventus on Sunday, April 26.

In a significant development, Claudio Ranieri has officially left his role at AS Roma. The legendary coach, known for winning the Premier League title with Leicester City in 2016, transitioned from a managerial position to a senior advisor role in November 2024. Due to reported disagreements with the club's new manager, Gian Piero Gasperini, Ranieri's departure was confirmed in a club statement on Friday. The club expressed gratitude for Ranieri's contributions during a challenging period and emphasized their commitment to Gasperini's long-term vision.

Key points from the statement include:

• Ranieri led the team through tough times and earned respect from fans and management alike.
• The club is focused on growth and improvement under Gasperini, who is expected to develop young players effectively.
