Inter stay strong above Serie A chaos with 14 new managers below them | Nicky Bandini
The managerial mix-up in Italy poses questions but with Simone Inzaghi staying put, Inter are still the team to beat
The faces are familiar, but the places all jumbled up. To preview this Serie A season feels like having a gossipy catch-up with friends who lost track of each other’s lives.
Remember how Thiago Motta swept Bologna off to Europe? Oh, that’s over: he’s with Juventus now. Bologna got together with Vincenzo Italiano instead, after he left Fiorentina. They turned to Raffaele Palladino but that left Monza with nobody, until, of all people, Alessandro Nesta shows up on the scene. Please, we haven’t even got to the juicy part. Antonio Conte, he’s back. And get this, he’s with Napoli.
