Last 10 Serie A Winners

Napoli added their name in the historic list of Serie A winners as they have won their first Scudetto since 1990 with Victor Osimhen's goal

Napoli added their name in the historic list of Serie A winners as they have won their first Scudetto since 1990 after Victor Osimhen's second-half goal secured a 1-1 draw at Udinese on Thursday night

Napoli have led the table for most of the season, producing the best and most entertaining football by some distance, spearheaded by Osimhen and the Georgia winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. They have lost three league games all season.

Victor Osimhen's 22nd goal of the season ensured Napoli secured the single point needed to clinch the title with rivals Lazio and Juventus no longer able to catch them.

They came from behind to secure a draw in Udine, with emotional celebrations breaking out across Italy in Naples.

It is the first time Napoli have won the league since the legendary Diego Maradona starred for them in the 1990 and 1987 campaigns.

They have come close to lifting the title on several occasions in recent years, twice under Maurizio Sarri and once under Carlo Ancelotti.

However, they have finally managed to get over the line under Luciano Spalletti this season, having enjoyed an outstanding campaign that has seen them drop just 19 points all season.

What is the Scudetto?

The Scudetto has become synonymous with winning the Serie A title, but the Scudetto itself is not a trophy.

Despite the accepted jargon in Italy of 'winning the Scudetto' which is associated with winning the Italian league trophy, the Scudetto is more about symbolism than silverware.

The translation of a 'scudetto' is a small shield or badge (the dimunitive version of 'scudo' or shield in Italian), and in this context it refers to the badge that can only be applied to the kits of the champions of Italy's top division (the Serie A).

That badge, or scudetto, is a patch designed in the colours of the Italian flag and it is applied to the official team jerseys for the following season as a representative symbol of their place as the reigning champions and top team in Italy.

There is also a trophy that is awarded to the Serie A winners, and that silverware was first awarded in 1961, but it has taken a back seat to the more culturally significant Scudetto, which has caught on as the ultimate symbol of league success.

The Scudetto translates from Italian as 'little shield' which refers to the Italian tricolour flag (green, white and red) inside a small gold shield.

That patch is stitched onto the champions kits for the duration of the following season.

Only one team can don the patch in any given season, and that honour only goes to the defending champion.

History of Serie A:

Founded in 1898, Serie A is the top-tier league in Italian football. The winner of Serie A is awarded the Scudetto and the Coppa Campioni d'Italia. 

Since the 1929-30 season, the Serie A has been held in a round-robin format where each club plays the other side in a home and away fixture. Before this, regional and inter-regional rounds were held to determine the winner.

The top division Italian league is considered to be the most tactical and defence-oriented league among the top five leagues in Europe.

Since 2004-05, there have been 20 Italian clubs competing in Serie A every season.

The top-four placed teams in Serie A directly qualify for the UEFA Champions League while the fifth and Coppa Italia winners qualify for the UEFA Europa League.

Meanwhile, the bottom three teams at the end of the season are relegated to Serie B. They are replaced by the top three sides from Serie B.

From 1915 to 1919, the Serie A was postponed due to the First World War while the league was once again cancelled between 1944 and 1945 due to the Second World War.

Who has won the most Serie A titles?

Juventus have been the dominant force in Italy's Serie A since the league's inception in 1929, with the Turin giants winning an incredible total of 36 titles, compared to 19 each for AC Milan and Inter Milan.

AC Milan have presented a beautiful new kit for the club's 125-year celebration. The new kit is crafted by the renowned brand PUMA to give a tribute to the Rossoneri's 125 years of legacy as one of the greatest Italian clubs ever, and the shirt will be donned by AC Milan players in their next home game against Genoa in the iconic San Siro Stadium.

PUMA Present AC Milan's 125th Anniversary Kit - SoccerBible

The fourth kit of AC Milan this season is a special edition kit, to celebrate the club's legacy of long 125 years. Founded in 1899, AC Milan have consolidated themselves as one of the greatest Italian clubs in history. The shirt is significantly unveiled today, on 5 December 2024, which is 12.5 if numerically written. 

The iconic red and black striped design which originally emerged in the 1950s now enhances the beauty of the new kit; whereas the logo describes "Milan Football and Cricket Club". The badge pays homage to the very first logo of the club and Herbert Kilpin, the club's founder who wanted the club to represent both football and cricket. An emblematic symbol of AC Milan during the 1980s called 'Diavoletto', which means 'Little Devil', is printed inside the jersey with an inscription that reads 'AC Milan 125.'

Back in December 2023, AC Milan invited some of its loyal supporters to the 'Design our Jersey. Design our Legacy' campaign. The key elements from AC Milan's long pages of history were chosen by the loyal supporters to be designed in the jersey. Only 1899 shirts each for a goalkeeper jersey, a football, and a limited edition retro jersey will be available to be purchased by fans. These shirts will also feature a unique serial number and receive an exclusive packaging. This is a tribute to the club's founding year, 1899. 

Franco Baresi, AC Milan's Honorary Vice President expressed his emotions about the special jersey:

This jersey is a reflection of AC Milan’s soul - its passion, its history, and the vision for its future. As someone who has proudly represented this Club for 50 years in many different roles, this milestone represents a moment of celebration and unity for the entire Rossoneri family. The 125th Anniversary is a testament to the values and spirit that make AC Milan extraordinary, and this kit is a beautiful way to honour our journey while celebrating the unwavering bond with our fans.

On behalf of PUMA, Marco Mueller, PUMA’s Senior Director of Product Line Management Teamsport said:

The 125th Anniversary kit is not only a celebration of AC Milan’s past but also a tribute to the unwavering passion of its fans. We’re honored to have worked with the Rossoneri faithful to create something that’s not only a piece of football history but also designed for performance and pride.

The 125th-anniversary kit was officially unveiled yesterday in Milan in an exclusive event at the club’s Flagship Store in Via Dante. This special kit will make its exciting on-field debut on December 8 when AC Milan Women will take on Inter Milan in the Milan Derby, followed by the men's team facing Genoa on December 15 at the San Siro Stadium.

Paul Pogba terminates contract with Juventus after mutual agreement

Paul Pogba and Juventus have mutually agreed to part ways amid doping ban as the club announced on Friday via an official statement. The Turin-based club terminated the player's contract despite his ban being cut down to 18 months by CAS in October 2024.

The Serie A giants Juventus have stated in the official club statement:

"Juventus Football Club and Paul Pogba announce that they have reached a mutual agreement for the termination of their contract as of 30 November, 2024.
The club wishes Paul the very best for his professional future."

Paul Pogba confirmed his departure from the club via Instagram and expressed his gratitude to Juventus fans.

However, Pogba becomes a free agent and will be available in the winter transfer window in January 2025. 

Pogba's doping ban

Paul Pogba terminates contract with Juventus after mutual agreement-sportzpoint.com

Paul Pogba made his long-awaited return to Juventus in 2022 but he has not played for the Bianconeri since September 2023. In August 2023, Pogba was tested positive for DHEA which is a banned substance. According to Journalist Julien Laurens, Paul Pogba admitted to Juventus that he took some food supplements not knowing they contained testosterone which led to his positive drug test. 

However, Italy's anti-doping court sanctioned Pogba with a four-year ban for doping in September 2023, and the decision was announced this year in February. Pogba appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) against the punishment stating that the verdict was incorrect. CAS reduced Pogba's ban to 18 months from four years as the 31-year-old Frenchman was able to prove that the consumption of testosterone was not intentional. Pogba stated afterwards:

"I always stated that I never knowingly breached World Anti-Doping Agency regulations when I took a nutritional supplement prescribed to me by a doctor, which does not affect or enhance the performance of male athletes, 

"I play with integrity, and although I must accept that this is a strict liability offence, I want to place on record my thanks to the Court of Arbitration for Sport’s judges who heard my explanation."

However, Pogba is eligible to play from March 2025 after receiving the punishment reduction.

The following incidents

According to a report by Fabrizio Romano on 7 October 2024, both parties would agree on a contract termination. Pogba's high salary of €10m per season also caused financial worries for the Turin club and his fitness issues would have taken time to recover. 

The reports have come true and now Pogba has become a free agent and will be available in the winter transfer window. Paul Pogba is training in Miami to regain his fitness and be ready for his next club. It will be exciting to see which club pursues the French midfielder who will be available to train with his new club from January and play from March 2025.

AS Roma appoints Claudio Ranieri as new head coach

Claudio Ranieri arrived in Rome this morning to complete his agreement with AS Roma. The 73-year-old veteran comes out of retirement for his third stint as Roma head coach.

AS Roma have reached an agreement to appoint Claudio Ranieri as the new head coach. The legendary PL-winning manager of Leicester City announced his retirement earlier this year in May after leaving his position at his last club Cagliari. However, Ranieri will take up the charge to be Roma's next manager as AS Roma fired Ivan Juric on 10 November 2024.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio and Florian Plettenberg of SkySports, the 73-year-old veteran manager completed the verbal agreement for a contract until the end of the season yesterday.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Ranieri arrived at the club this morning and signed all the formal documents for his appointment as Roma coach for the third time in his career. 

Ranieri himself confirmed his appointment after he met the AS Roma president Dan Freidkin and vice president Ryan Friedkin in London on Wednesday. He jokingly told the press on his way back:

"[Roma’s] a tough nut to crack? That’s why they called me!"

"We’re all set—the good guys are coming!"

via Ansa

An official announcement is expected from AS Roma today as Ranieri is all set for this return at his beloved club for the third time as the manager. 

The Scenario

The legendary Jose Mourinho was sacked by AS Roma in January this year. However, Roma legend Daniele De Rossi was appointed as the next head coach for the Giallorossi. Roma finished 6th in Serie A last season under De Rossi but he was eventually fired from his position in September 2024 after going winless in the first 4 matches of Serie A 2024-25. 

Following De Rossi's departure, the fans expressed their anger about the decision and Roma CEO Lina Souloukou stepped down. Former Torino coach Ivan Juric was appointed as De Rossi's successor but Roma's worst start in the Serie A in over two decades led to his sacking on 10 November 2024. 

AS Roma is currently facing a very difficult situation as they are 12th in this season's Serie A League table as of now, having earned 13 points from 12 matches. 

Ranieri's sensational return to Roma

Although Claudio Ranieri is mostly known for Leicester City's folkloric 2015-16 Premier League-winning journey under his managership, the 73-year-old Italian shares a close bond with Italian football, especially with AS Roma.

AS Roma appoints Claudio Ranieri as the new head coach-sportzpoint.com

Ranieri announced his retirement from his managerial career after leaving Cagliari in May 2024 this year but now he has returned to his hometown to take up the mantle. Ranieri's third stint with AS Roma begins tomorrow with a first training session. Rome, where Ranieri was born and played for Roma later, has also managed Roma in two different spells before.

Ranieri was appointed as Roma's manager in September 2009 and concluded his first stint in February 2011. His second stint was from March to June 2019.

However, according to Gazzetta, Ranieri will leave the position at the end of this season and he will join AS Roma's technical board. But as of now, AS Roma will look to get back on track with their old guard back in the business.
