After a terrible season with the league title on their chest, Napoli decided to start a new by going for a sure bet, choosing the best coach they could hire: Antonio Conte. Conte returns to Italy after a successful stint at Inter during the pandemic years, and his time in England has further enhanced his resume. Conte has found an enthusiastic environment in Naples upon his arrival. However, he is tasked with turning the team's depression into success, as the last standings show Napoli in tenth place, starting from the thirty-second round of the Coppa Italia against Modena under Bisoli.
Thiago Motta was the new coach who had the best season, leading Bologna to a historical Champions League qualification. The Italo-Brazilian has now arrived at Juventus and is already imposing his tactical philosophy: not so much in terms of tactics, as Allegri's approach was always variable, but more in terms of mentality and style of play. Certainly, the Bianconeri are used to winning, as it is the only thing that matters: who knows if the young coach will win and convince in his first significant club coaching experience.
Finally, Milan is starting over with Ibrahimovic, not on the pitch but behind the desk in a suit and tie. The former Swedish talent played a key role in the selection of Fonseca as Milan's new coach. The Portuguese returns to Italy after his two-year stint with Roma between 2019 and 2021. He performed better at Lille in France, finishing fourth in the last championship. Fonseca at Milan is called to rejuvenate an environment that swings between highs and lows, despite the club's impressive trophy cabinet.
