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.

His only mistake was leaving Sporting, which was performing well in the UCL, to move to Man Utd instead.

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.

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.

I think Milan is looking at Amorim with the same eye i am using to look at him. He isn’t an entirely bad manager but I think he can do better staying outside the premier league competition and not just Manchester United alone. If you say Manchester squad or team was his problem, Carrick would have faced same issues noticeably by now. But it does not seem like so as he is already pushing the team to do better than they were doing under Amorim. I will suggest Milan tries him for this season and see what he has to offer with the team because the team really needs to pull weight this season else they may not outperform the performance of the last season and the previous ones. They need to really improve on their performance this season.

Amorim didn't succeed in Manchester United doesn't mean that he won't succeed in Milan because they're two different clubs entirely in different leagues with different game tactics. Amorim game tactics that he was using in Old Trafford doesn't fit in to bring out the potentials and quality in the players. It might work for him in Milan and I hope that he can fix the team.

[blue Snow]

80 million for Ramos who wasn't even part of PSG main team, and scored 6 goals in Ligue1 , 27 goals in 3 years, as much as Cirro scored in one year or close to what Retegui did

Fonseca deja-vu!

That price is ridiculous. How could Milan possibly dare to pay 80 million for Ramos, given what we already know about his performance at PSG? This is truly bizarre. I can’t imagine how Ramos could live up to his status as the most expensive player with such unimpressive performances. Ramos is will facing a difficult situation because he’ll be carrying a huge burden at Milan.

[Obulis]

Ruben amurim have proven beyond reasonable doubt that he is a good coach and will never stop showing even with the current challenge he is facing now.
Of a truth in his first game at AC Milan he suffered a terrible defeat but that doesn't mean he is a bad coach and will not do well if the chance is given to him,  all he needs now is time and the commitment of his players because it is not easy adapting to a new game pattern one do not know.
We all no friendly games are different from tournament games, so if they do not do well now I will suggest we wait till when the league starts to see if he will do better then.

I'm happy because in my opinion it would be the case that more foreign coaches arrived in Serie A to give a vision of football different from the solitary Serie A. We have already seen this only with Fabregas, who by coaching Como gave greater flexibility to the team and greater offensiveness. i would still give Amorim some time without arguing too much. All the other teams coached by Italian coaches are much more inclined towards tradition. A more drastic change in the benches would be needed.

Jumping into conclusion has failed people many times and this case of Ruben Amorim is not different, saying that he won't do well in the season is not conclusive looking at his past efforts. Giving him a chance is what can actually prove if he will do well or not because preseason schedules is not enough to conclude about him in AC Milan.

yes, it is basically true, although I think the same that the previous failure is not a definite answer to the second failure that may be achieved, but the framing does not come from anyone, surely many people think and think to the same conclusion, whether to fail or succeed becomes an interesting discussion, and not a few people must associate it with the previous failure, because it is an image attached to The Amorim body itself.

Whether he has improved or not, and whether he has improved much or not, or whether he is with himself or with his new team, we wish him only the best, as you wish either the team or the coach or the players in that Amorim administration.

[Crytohillss]

Absolutely, his performance was nothing to write about i think manchester united is too big for him to handle
coaching a big club like manchester united he has suppose to seek for solution or strategy that wil help the club move forward. Amori failed not even trying to push manchester united to grab any trophies. I think joining Ac milan he can try to improve if he uses best formation , michael carrick led manchester united to ucl i think manchester united is going to perform really good this season with the kind of momentum michael carrick is adopting now EPL we definitely hear from him.

[Italian Panic]

I find it ridiculous what’s happening in Italian football with young players.
In yesterday’s Coppa Italia match, an 18 year old called Simone Lontani scored two goals, yet it seems he hasn’t been confirmed for the league and looks set to go out on loan.
Juventus had the best goalkeeper from the previous Serie B season, Daffara; they sold him to another team and are now looking for a goalkeeper, spending tens of millions of euros.
Torino have an excellent 19 year old goalkeeper who made his debut against Carrarese and put in a brilliant performance, yet Torino are spending millions upon millions to sign the Leeds goalkeeper.

These are just a few of the scandalous cases from the last few days. No wonder Italian football has problems with young players.

[Fakhrulenclix]

I can’t imagine how Ramos could live up to his status as the most expensive player with such unimpressive performances. Ramos is will facing a difficult situation because he’ll be carrying a huge burden at Milan.

Excessive expectations will be a burden for Ramos, especially with a high transfer fee. He will certainly be pressured to make a significant contribution, which is why he might not be able to perform at his best due to the pressure.

And regarding Gonçalo Ramos's high price tag, I don't think it's excessive. He's an excellent individual player and still young, so he has great potential to become a star in the future. However, his time with AC Milan will certainly be a difficult task.

I hope he gets off to a good start with AC Milan and can maintain that until the end of the season.

A full season challenge is much tougher because so many things can happen within the squad such as a loss of confidence from the players or management, or key players suffering injuries and these factors can impact the team's performance.
Serie A might differ slightly from the Premier League, so the challenges Amorim faces shouldn't be as difficult as those he encountered at Manchester United.
I also hope Amorim can deliver his best for AC Milan this season after all, he was quite successful at Sporting CP, even though there hasn't been a significant improvement in his results since leaving that club.

Mismanagement seems become the main problems faced by not only one or two clubs, but almost all italian clubs. Instead of developing their talent, they sold them for cheap, then sign aged players with more price than their talents price. No doubt there is a gap between them compared to the other leagues at this moment.
So many clubs face the stagnation because they can't afford to buy proper players, and in result, the league less competitive. How long they will aware if their young lads like a treasure in the future.

Beside that lack of competitiveness is also affecting their revenue, which is also affecting their books. Slowly, but surely this league may be out of top 5 leagues consider how bad their habits.
