Follow the politics as Fiorentina take on Empoli in Serie A today.
The Italian elite have noticed a turnover of teams at the top since the end of Juventus’ dominance, with Inter Milan and AC Milan earning a spot before Napoli finished on top last season.
Jose Mourinho’s Roma, Maurizio Sarri’s Lazio and Gian Piero Gasperini’s Atalanta are also interesting clubs with European or trophy ambitions, which align with the competitive nature of the league.
Meanwhile, Monza, Salernitana, Empoli and Cagliari may struggle this season, but they are smart enough to upset groups back in the day.
