For this reason, I will not hesitate to say that Roma has indeed developed quite well under De Rossi's coaching. Even though De Rossi has only been in charge of Roma since the middle of last season. but the results were enough to make all of us who watched want to express our appreciation to De Rossi. But De Rossi was able to make Roma improve not only because of his own results. But because the Roma squad has been built well by Mourinho. So Mourinho's contribution is still there in the good results shown by De Rossi as Roma coach. And the real challenge for De Rossi is next season and in the current player transfer market. Because remember next season Lukaku might not even be there anymore because his loan period has expired. and yeah, De Rossi has to rebuild the squad as best as possible. And yes, limited transfer funds can be an obstacle in this case. But I feel that Roma have made a good decision in bringing in De Rossi.

Is this true? I can't understand why Milan is in such a hurry to choose a new coach and if it is true that Paulo Fonseca is the coach then this is a decline for Milan. I am not underestimating Paulo Fonseca but of course Milan should be able to target a more experienced coach considering that the competition in Serie A has always been fierce lately.

On the other hand, if there is no coach who can be equal to Simone Inzaghi then it is certain that Inter will win the Scudetto again. There is nothing we can expect from Milan and perhaps with a fairly good squad depth, it is also difficult for the players' potential to be further improved.

Let's always remember that Italy has always been well present in the Champions League, now we have the overwhelming power of the Spanish in recent years, but let's also remember that when Real Madrid were Galacticos there were teams like Milan, Juve and Inter who have always been imposed on these great teams and they have sometimes achieved great results, so we can expect anything and the great teams do not always manage to win what they set their minds to winning, football is beautiful for this reason

The last time italian club won UCL was more than a decade ago.

Wiki

La Liga owns the majority of the UCL trophy because Real Madrid has consistently won it. Real madrid is owning 15 tropohies alone combined with barcelona. It would be different if Madrid were not in La Liga. Madrid has carried la liga to win so many UCL titles. Serie A was not a horrible team, especially since they may still advance to the UCL final. The only main problem if any serie a clubs were qualifying to the final was not able making a proper finishing. It has made club bottled the trophy

The main problem is that they lack a winning mentality. You can see from how intermilan has bottled it last seasons. It can be seen from how Intermilan failed in the 2022/2023 final versus Manchester City. They presently hold 5 UCL places now. It enhances the likelihood that Italian teams will remain in the UCL for an extended period but it must be noted that if it doesn't guarantee italian club to have greater chance in winning UCL.  King is back now. Real madrid is ready to break its 3 times UCL winners in a row.

Guys, any opinion about the performance of Roma?

I clearly do not see any improvement in their performance. but maybe I am just speaking a little too early. Maybe there is a chance that they will be able to bring in better results in the next season. it has not been even a whole season that they have brought in Daniele De Rossi. maybe with time, De Rossi will be able to improve the results. But at this moment I highly doubt that. 

You know, De Rossi is going to need a lot of money to actually bring in good results and compete for the title. at this moment I do not see a huge stream of money coming into the Roma club. do I think that it was a very big mistake that they have actually fired Jose Mourinho? probably not a very big mistake.  but at the same time do I think that they should have gotten a better coach? yes absolutely.  unless they actually finish in the top four positions in the next season I am not going to call another European League position finish "an improvement".

Previously it was reported that there was great coach like Antonio Conte who would become AC Milan coach but for some reason now there is lot of discussion regarding AC Milan decision to choose Paulo Fonseca as head coach for next season, maybe this will be new start for AC Milan in the competition for title.
It is true that Paulo Fonseca is quite an experienced coach, but that does not guarantee that he will bring success to AC Milan considering that Paulo Fonseca track record during his career as coach is also nothing special at all.
But hopefully this is not the wrong decision and Paulo Fonseca can work well as expected by AC Milan officials after deciding to bring him in.
Serie A will be full of quite fierce competition next season, several teams have prepared their performance as well as possible and Paulo Fonseca really has to face big challenges as the head coach who leads AC Milan.

Every club that has appointed a coach must have done research beforehand. They are not careless in appointing a coach, but rather the management has seen the coach's ability to build the club.
Paulo Fonseca may not be a potential coach and has experience in coaching big clubs because in his coaching career he has never coached a big club so this is the first time for him to coach a big club like Milan which is a big club in the Italian League so this is a challenge for Paulo Fonseca to show his abilities in building the club, whether he can improve Milan's performance next season because this club wants the league title.

Paulo Fonseca was quite good at coaching the Lille club in League 1 and finished in the top 4, but comparing League 1 and the Italian League is of course very different because they are at different levels but hopefully Paulo Fonseca can show his best ability in coaching this big club. The Milan club is filled with quality and talented players, so the coach only needs to hone the skills of his players and buy the players he needs to match the abilities expected by the coach. It is clear that management must trust the coach because an experienced coach may not necessarily be able to provide a championship, we can see example of Xabi Alonso at Leverkusen

I think, AC Milan Still have potential players that are ready to do more in the next season if the opportunity will be giving to them again which I know the opportunity will be giving to them, because their management are still searching for a potential manager that will lead the team to victory next season. In football competition anything can happen, if the management see the potential in the Paulo Fonseca to become the manager of AC Milan, I think he can break some record to use AC Milan as the first team he lead to victory in the Italian league competition. Based on what I observed from the decision of the AC Milan management, I don't think Paulo Fonseca will going to disappoint the team because the players will going to support the manager and work with him to ensure they achieve the title next season.

Did anyone realize that the competition in Serie A has not been up to the mark?

By that, I mean almost all of the teams in this league have just not been good enough in the Champions League competition. The last time any Italian team was able to win the Champions League competition was back in the 2009-10 season if I recall correctly. And it was Inter who won the Champions League.

After that, I do not remember any team from the Italian league actually winning the Champions League title. Are the teams in the Serie A has just become that bad? I know recently a lot of Italian teams have been facing some legal problems with their players, their coaches, and even their owners. Are these the reasons why they have not been able to do well in the Champions League competition? That is definitely a factor if you ask me. It also does not seem like any team from the Italian league will probably win the Champions League competition anytime soon.

There is nothing exceptional about Fonsesca. He was a flop when he left Ukraine. His prime is only when he coached shakhtar. Fonsesca's great successes are all about Shakhtar Donetsk. There's little doubt that Milan fans are doubting Fonsesca right now. Pioli did not deserve to be fired by the club. Sign fonsesca as a new appointment is how acmilan is showing how panic the club is right now

Pioli helped Acmilan finish second place and secure a UCL spot for the future season. Acmilan will lose some of its current competitiveness. I believe Fonsesca is a failed coach hired by Arsenal.
Fonsesca was nothing when he left Shakhtar Donetsk. Acmilan has demonstrated if Fonsesca is a panic signing by acmilan. I doubt Acmilan will finish even in fifth place this season.

Acmilan's owner should allow Pioli to stay longer in the club. We can see how many players were injured last season in Acmilan.

For Milan, in-depth research was required for coaching. Time will tell us whether Milan will achieve their goals when they appoint Fonseca as head of the team, but I think Fonseca is a bit of a low-profile coach for Milan. I hope it will be a season full of championship claims for Milan. The rivalry with Inter is very important. Juventus will also be in the race next year. It will be a hot season, on the way to the championship.

AC Milan decision to appoint Paulo Fonseca as their coach is surprising one. While Fonseca has shown promise with his previous work at AS Roma his lack of experience in leading team to victory in Serie A is a concern. AC Milan is massive club with high expectations and Fonseca inability to deliver title in his previous roles raises questions about his ability to handle pressure. I hope AC Milan has thoroughly considered Fonseca credentials and has clear plan in place to support him otherwise risk of disappointment is high. Fans and the club deserve better and it's crucial that Fonseca proves himself worthy of this opportunity.

AC Milan is one of the big teams that almost won in the Serie A League last season. Meanwhile, Paulo Fonseca is a coach who has never led the team he coached to victory in the Serie A League. Paulo Fonseca also coached AS Roma in the 2019/20 season and finished in the top five of the standings. I hope AC Milan has considered it carefully when choosing Pauol Fonseca to be the coach of a team as big as AC Milan so as not to cause disappointment in the end.

Antonio Conte is currently the headcoach of Napoli and we should expect good targets from the new coach. Napoli have always been in jeopardy since the absence of one experience coach, Luciano Spalleti. The club crumbled and struggle to win league matches, there as winning the scudetto becomes more challenging form, they ended in a compromise position this season, sending news to the fans that everything is not working well on their end. Perhaps next season is another opportunity for them to strive again and I hope this time they do deliver.

Como experience will be very important for Cesc Fabregas. They set important targets this year, especially it was very important for them to aim for the middle ranks in the league, but I think even not being relegated from the league in the first season in this difficult league can be considered successful. They are targeting important players and if they transfer them, they can be one of the flash teams in Serie A. Como may be one of this year's surprises.

Osimhen is still not going anywhere at the moment because although there are some rumors that are indeed now crowded that he will leave but as long as there is no confirmation then he remains at Napoli and until now there is still no club that really gives a decent offer for Osimhen to leave Napoli.
There were some rumors that Arsenal were preparing to bring Osimhen but that was immediately rejected because Arsenal considered Osimhen's price too expensive for them to the Emirates Stadium.

What is possible is that now PSG is always busy being linked with Osimhen and reportedly at this time PSG and Napoli officials have met to discuss the continuation of Osimhen's transfer.

Most likely he leaves if this happens but before there is further confirmation from PSG and Napoli then until now Osimhen is still in Napoli uniform even though we must be aware that the possibility of him staying in Naples is very slim.

Napoli is my favorite team in the serie A but there are losing their number striker osimien so what will be their fate now ? Because it seems the club is going to be in problem.

I have to say, Igor Tudor did not look all that bad to me at all, they are over reacting to all of this and I think it wasn't really that bad, they were doing quite well. In the end, what can Lazio do? I do not expect them to win the league, so why were they not happy with what Tudor did? On top of that, let's assume that Igor Tudor did terrible and they are right to fire him, even in that situation, hiring Marco Baroni means that they do not want any manager at all and they just want to have a puppet that they can control nothing more, he is basically a nobody.

I believe that Lazio will do quite terrible this season as well, not going to be all that complicated, because they did not hire any manager that would be very good for them.

If PSG fails to bring in Khvicha Kvaratskhelia then that means Napoli should have agreed on a new contract and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's future. Conte will of course make Khvicha Kvaratskhelia the most needed player in his plans next season, so a safe position for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is guaranteed.

You may be right, rumors about PSG's interest in Osimhen are still ongoing. Osimhen is expected to be a suitable replacement for Mbappe who left for Real Madrid on a free transfer, but we don't know for sure how things will develop. A move to PSG would be a good option for Osimhen rather than just staying at Napoli, but Conte will probably hope Osimhen stays.

If the team is provided with transfers that can fill the necessary deficiencies, Inter can easily win the championship again, but if they send important players for the team and cannot fill these gaps, the championship next year may be a dream. That's why the most important period of this year will be the summer transfer period for Inter. Inter must take very important steps in this transfer period.
