Brothers Euro with a happy heart: Serie A returns, hoping to ride the Euro glory wave

The economic collapse of Inter, the senior players who left and the question marks surrounding Ronaldo also did not hurt the euphoria of the Euros, which should also radiate to the Italian league.

The comebacks of Allegri, Mourinho and Sari, the appetite of the team's heroes, the derby that returns after 74 years and of course the Israeli angle (double?)

Ronaldo puts an end to the rumors: "My story at Real Madrid was written"

Will winning the Euro also affect the league?

A new reality at Inter.

Inter

Antonio Conte brought the Narazuri to the Promised Land with a first championship after 11 years, but abandoned immediately after realizing the club was heading for extensive cuts.

Chinese giant Suning has put Inter up for sale and in the meantime has tried to reduce the deficit through the huge sale of Lukaku (115 million euros) and also that of Hakimi (60 million).

Simona Inzaghi, who has done some good years at Lazio, will try to steer the ship in the stormy waters and hope that at least Lautro Martins stays.

Denzel Dompris came in instead of Hakimi, Edin Dzeko (perhaps also from Toram property or Duban Spata) in place of the dominant Lukaku, Cannes Cologneilo crossed the road from Milan and young Belgian Zeno and Anhausden were bought back from Standard Liege, but Inter are no longer the leading contenders for the championship.

Able to take one step forward?

Milan

Stefano Fioli has returned the Rossoneri to the Champions League after eight years and is now aiming for the next goal: a first championship since 2010/11.

In the first half of the previous season it seemed possible, when AC Milan scored in bundles and led the table from the fourth round to the 22nd round, but then came Zlatan Ibrahimovic's injuries, a surprising loss to Spezia and another defeat in the derby, and the dream vanished.

The short staff was at the back of AC Milan and they tried to solve the problem in the summer with the addition of Olivier Giroud (as a backup to Zlatan) and Fuda Balo Torre (as a backup to his Hernandez).

Mike Manian, who experienced a dream season last night and was one of the causes of the surprising championship, will have to forget about Gijo Donaroma in order to talk about Scudetto.

Will be left without the partner?

Atlanta

The team from Bergamo has become a permanent member of the Italian top in recent years and will participate for the third time in a row in the home stage of the Champions League.

Jean-Pierre Gasparini is starting his sixth season on the lines and once again wants to put together one of the most exciting teams in European football.

Juan Musso was bought for 20 million euros from Udinese to upgrade the problematic goalkeeper position, Smell Demirel will try to get into Cotie Romero's big shoes, the defenders will continue to provide numbers and the big question is who will be Luis Muriel's partner if Spata move to Inter.

This choice may determine whether Atlanta will continue to be part of the Top 4.

The question mark will remain until the window closes.

Juventus

The old lady not only lost the championship after nine consecutive wins, she almost stayed out of the Champions League.

Andrea Pirlo got the ticket only in the last round and also winning the cup did not help him, when Allegri was called back and will try to return the Scudetto to Turin.

Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci will continue to represent the spirit of the club and arrive very hungry after winning the Euros, while the status of top scorer Ronaldo is still in question and even Paulo Dybala who has not yet extended his contract may leave surprisingly.

The deal of Manuel Lucatelli, one of the heroes of the Euro, was chewed all summer until it was signed, and in addition to the excellent connection came the Brazilian diamond Cayo Jorge.

Not too much, and yet: with Allegri on the lines and as long as Ronaldo stays, Juventus are back in the favorite position.

The symbol of Naples flirts with departure.

Naples

A glorious kick in the bucket cost Napoli a ticket to the Champions League and puts an end to the Gennaro Gattuso era.

Spalti, 62, got the reins after sitting at home for two years, and once again went straight into the "Captain Storm".

In Rome he had a clash with Francesco Totti, at Inter he robbed the film of Mauro Icardi and now he has a story with Lorenzo Insigne, who after the best season of his career personally and of course winning the Euros, signaled his intention to leave.

Spalletti literally begged the captain to stay, and meanwhile his preoccupation prevented strengthening at the window.

Got into trouble with Lazio fans immediately after signing.

Lazio

The man and cigarette Maurizio Sari took a sabbatical year after the championship with Juventus and is now coming to the Italian capital in an attempt to assimilate his unique style at Lazio.

The veteran coach preferred to sign for two years despite receiving a four-year offer, meanwhile reuniting with Al-Sayed Husai who played for him in Naples (and already got involved with the fans) and with Pedro who played for him at Chelsea (and crossed the road from Rome), and also brought back Felipe Anderson who was lost at West Ham.

Commentators in Italy believe that the combination of the sari-ball and the talent of Chiro Immobilia, Luis Albero and Sergei Milinkovic-Savic will bring Lazio back to the Champions League.

The burden of proof is on the coach.

A common challenge.

Rome

This is probably the critical year in Jose Mourinho's glorious career.

After failing to bring a championship to Manchester United and failing at Tottenham, the 58-year-old Portuguese coach returned to Italy, where they remember the dizzying treble of Inter in 2010 (the last time an Italian team won the Champions League).

Mourinho is experiencing a completely new reality this time: he can not fight in the window for the big stars and in order to participate in the European houses stage (and this too only in the Conference League) he has to go through a difficult hurdle in the form of Trabzonspor.

Tammy Avraham has been bought for 40 million euros to provide the goals, Roy Patricio will try to close the gap between the posts and Uruguayan Mathias Vinia is set to fill the place of the injured Leonardo Spinacola.

A qualified and good Niccolò Zaniolu can make the difference between success and failure.

Following Tal Benin and Eran Zehavi.

The Israelis

24 years after Tal Benin's debut in Brescia and a decade after Eran Zehavi's first game in the Palermo uniform, the number of Israel's representatives in Serie A will increase and perhaps even double: Venice returned to the top league after 19 years and signed Dor Peretz as one of its top players. Attached the end of the 19-year-old Podgorano, who is set to play in the youth team and occasionally be included in the senior squad as well (last season he sat on the bench in nine league games for Roma).

Peretz will play for sure and is set to make his debut in a particularly festive venue: Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Naples.

Staying in the league will be a great success for Venice and also for Spezia.

At least one more season.

The rest of the league

Sesotho is also set to be one of the most attractive teams in the league this time around, with Alessio Dionysi trying to continue the line of Roberto de Zerbi who moved to coach Manor Solomon at Shakhtar Donetsk.

The unfinished Fabio Cavalierla, who celebrated his 100th goal in the Cup in the Sampdoria uniform, will try to keep his team afloat, and on the other side of the city a similar task rests on the shoulders of the legendary Goran Pandev.

After the summer farce with Gattuso, the construction work in Fiorentina was entrusted to Vincenzo Italiano, who will probably have to deal with the sale of scorer Dusan Valahovic.

Verona will continue to improve their brakes even after parting ways with Ivan Juric, who has taken on the challenge of rebuilding Turin.

Udinese have sold Rodrigo de Paul and the Lightning, Bologna have parted ways with Rodrigo Palacio and Braid, Cagliari are undergoing a revolution, the Yo-U Ampoli team are hoping not to drop out again immediately and Salarantina are back after 22 years and this time will also meet Napoli for their first Serie A derby since 1947/48.
