Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

He actually achieved far better results with Sporting than he did with Manchester United during his time as manager. He set a record, the lowest win percentage among permanent Manchester United managers in the Premier League era, out of 63 matches, he won only 24, drew 18, and lost 21. So, things weren't as good at Manchester United as they were at Sporting, and that's why he was sacked. So far I haven't been impressed with the results of the friendly matches Milan has played with Amorim as head coach.

But because Sporting has an already well-integrated team, with the right players in the right roles, who know how to create the correct ball rotation mechanism. Manchester United, in an already more complicated situation in the Premier League, where greater team performance is required, and where there is also more tension, it is normal to struggle to put the pieces together to make things work well, especially when those pieces complain and don't want to make things work.

What he did with Sporting cannot be used as a reference because Sporting is not in a competitive competition and fierce competition so it will be different when a coach trains a team as big as Man United or AC Milan because the pressure will be very big so that so far we cannot say that Amorim is a great or successful coach and for AC Milan now there are also many who doubt Amorin and I think the reason is very clear.

We can say that Amorim was an unsuccessful manager at Manchester United. Because with the squad he left behind, Michael Carrick led them to Champions League qualification. Now Milan has believed in him and appointed him as manager. Amorim's performance is one of the things I'm most curious about. I hope Milan hasn't made a mistake by appointing him this year. A performance similar to Manchester United would be a disappointment for Milan.

In my opinion, he’s been a great coach ever since he took over at Sporting. He won five major trophies there. And if we set aside the domestic league and look at his achievements in tougher, bigger competitions such as the UCL we can also see Sporting’s success under Amorim’s leadership, like when he led the team to the Round of 16 in the 2021–22 season, and in the season before he moved to Man Utd, he even got off to a perfect start in the 2024–25 Champions League, keeping Sporting CP undefeated in their first four matches. He even led Sporting to a 4–1 victory over Man City in November 2024. So I think it’s hard not to say that he’s a great coach. His only mistake was leaving Sporting, which was performing well in the UCL, to move to Man Utd instead.

Mitchell Carrick has proven that the main problem of Manchester United was the lack of a good coach. I would not call Ruben Amrim a bad coach, he has good statistics. Maybe he failed to meet the expectations of a high-level team like Manchester United. Carrick quickly transformed the Manchester United he left behind and qualified for the Champions League. How did Mitchell Carrick manage with the same players? That is, the main problem of Manchester United was the lack of a good coach, it cannot be denied.

The failure started with Ten Hag, he left Manchester United in a very bad position. From there, Amorim brought him to a somewhat better position, but he was not completely successful. For now, we can call Carrick successful, the upcoming season is the main test for him.

Even De Nag, in my opinion, should not be seen as a failed coach, because he had done very well at Ajax. Same thing for Amorim, he did well at Sporting, then when he went to United he did badly again. So i don't think it depends solely and exclusively on the coach, but a lot depends on the team. And Manchester United have always had players who were perhaps more individualistic than team players. That's what perhaps didn't make the difference.

Amorim should take everything forward together. If we see the same problem that we see at Manchester United, then maybe we will talk about him now. He imposed his system at Manchester United and when they were not succeeding, maybe Amorim should have combined his system and taken another system forward in parallel. Yes, it is true that he was involved in something like that, like being completely involved with the club management. But we do not see anything like that at Milan, even if such a bad situation arises, it may never be possible to accept it. He should adopt another system with the system he is adopting, which the players can easily adapt to.

The Italian League will open with a match between Inter and Monza. Inter are once again one of the strongest contenders for the championship this year. Monza will be fighting to avoid defeat against them. Points you can get from Inter could be a huge advantage for you at the end of the season. Monza's primary goal is to stay in the league. If they want to finish in the middle of the table, they should try to get at least one point in these matches. If Inter wants the championship, they must win this match easily without allowing any surprises, because their opponent is much weaker than them.

With the record Amorim had with Sporting, it really shows that Amorim is not a bad coach. But the poor experience he had with Manchester United is what almost everyone is using to judge him currently. I feel his bad performances at Manchester United were due to the lack of some players who may have enjoyed his tactics and style of play. When he was able to start building his squad, Manchester is when United sacked him.I have some confidence that if Amorim had been given more time, Manchester United would have likely improved and he could have taken them back to being the great team they were some years back. Amorim’s performances at Sporting were really convincing and showed that Amorim is a great manager; it was just the time he did not have at Manchester United. But I would not like to defend too much that he is a great manager. He may likely prove it at AC Milan, but only if AC Milan can also give him enough time.

No doubt he failed at Manchester United, and I believe the expectation was much over there, you know managing a big club like Manchester United is not for the weak and I believe Ruben Amorim was weak for the job that's why he failed, in Micheal Carrick's case I'd say because he understood the team and he knows how the system over there works, that's why he's excelling, but I don't know if I'm the only having this believe that Ruben Amorim will succeed here in AC Milan, let's just give him till the season starts then we can judge.

Normally I still don't want to label Ruben Amorim as a bad manager, he tried to improve the team that Ten Hag left in a bad situation and he managed to do it relatively well. But he couldn't meet the expectations of the fans and the club. Although I agree with you about his lack of opportunities. He could have been given some more time, but the expectations of the fans are a bit high for Manchester United. United didn't have much time to meet expectations. That's why they had to appoint a new manager who could bring United back to a good position. There I think Carrick has succeeded and I applaud United's decision.

Ruben Amorim didn't do so badly at United that we can call him a bad manager. He will succeed at AC Milan, he has a higher chance of succeeding here. Firstly, the quality and competition of the league is comparatively lower than in the Premier League, the expectations of the fans are also comparatively lower. No one is expecting AC Milan to win the Scudetto or the Champions League this season. Rather, a second or third place finish would be enough. If they win the Scudetto, fans could call him the best manager of the moment.

Making predictions as soon as the season starts would be a bit risky, so I'll refrain from commenting immediately. Amorim could start well and then have a bad run, or vice versa. The important thing is that he maintains consistency and stability; if he can achieve that, there's no reason why he shouldn't be successful. I hope he gets off to a good start with AC Milan and can maintain that until the end of the season.

The Italian League will open with a match between Inter and Monza. Inter are once again one of the strongest contenders for the championship this year. Monza will be fighting to avoid defeat against them. Points you can get from Inter could be a huge advantage for you at the end of the season. Monza's primary goal is to stay in the league. If they want to finish in the middle of the table, they should try to get at least one point in these matches. If Inter wants the championship, they must win this match easily without allowing any surprises, because their opponent is much weaker than them.

Monza in that game will want to go all out to at least get a point against the reigning champions but I don't see them leaving with a draw.

Inter Milan will want to start their title defense on a clean note so I expect them to ruthless against Monza.

Winning this first game doesn't guarantee that they'll retain the league or not but for bragging rights of the club fans, a win will be a big achievement for Inter.

Monza know they are the underdogs. They will come in with nothing to lose and everything to gain. That kind of mindset can be dangerous for a team like Inter who are expected to win. Inter have the quality, but these early season games can be tricky. If Monza defend well and stay organized, they could make it uncomfortable.

They need to send a message that they are a team to take seriously. A narrow win won't be enough to convince anyone. Inter need to dominate and show they mean business this season. If they start the season with a shaky performance, it could plant doubts early. The title race is long, but the tone is set from the first whistle.
