Serie A returned this weekend with the 2025-2026 Scudetto winners, Inter, aiming to defend their title. AC Milan, after a disappointing last season, revamped their management, bringing in former Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim. The managerial carousel continued with six clubs changing coaches, including Napoli, who appointed Massimiliano Allegri after Antonio Conte's departure.

Four managerial sackings marked the early season, including Fiorentina's Fabio Grosso, replaced by Paolo Vanoli, and Bologna's Domenico Tedesco, who was succeeded by Raffaele Palladino. Parma and Venezia also made coaching changes during the international break.
