⚽ Lega Serie A 🇮🇹 (Italian League) Prediction Thread 2025/2026 ⚽

[Lillominato89]

Gasperini had a really great year with Roma. The best he could have done with such squad... Because you know they struggled to score multiple goals in so many matches.

If he can do this with an average squad I can't imagine what he could do with a much better one. I hope Roma board sees it and works with him for building a better team.

They are going to compete in the CL as well in the end. He deserves a good budget.

because he is a good coach
in fact it was really silly to let him go, a very stupid thing
I also understand that Gasperini wants to win something and Atalanta doesn't have much desire to spend money so the two things don't go together.
patience, now we have Sarri who is another good coach

If Gasperini wanted to win something, he should have gone to either Milan or Juventus; at Roma, it’s unlikely he’ll win anything significant in the short term.
Had he stayed at Atalanta, he could have aimed for much more with fewer problems arising from external factors such as the media and the fans.
But these are personal choices and I respect them.
In my view, Sarri is much better than Gasperini, and let’s hope he can enjoy considerable success in Bergamo.

Milan? Juventus?
are you serious?
those teams wouldn't win even if they had the best coach in the world
the management has a sick head, they are crazy

First they get rid of those crazy managers and then a good coach can get those teams back on track.
otherwise... it's just for show

Sarri is an old school coach, even though he is "sort of" old for a manager, 67 years old, but we have seen 70+ year olds manage too ,and yet he still manages according to his age, plays the football of his footballing era, 40 years ago.

That is not a good idea, Sarri has done well in teams that fit him, but I do not think that Atalanta will be the one and we should be expecting something much smaller from them this time around. It is not going to be that easy to make this work at all.

Old fashioned or not if he can get the team to where they really want them it really good. We all know his style of play, he prefer to posses, he prefer to be in control and I think that will work just fine for Atalanta. Sari is a good coach and he has delivered at clubs, so I don’t think it should be a big deal at Atalanta.

We have seen old age coaches deliver at top level, the likes of Jose morihno, Ancelotti and more. Sometimes experience is needed to bring in success. Atalanta is not a club that normally challenge for the league, it about getting European competition for them, So for me I think Sarri will do just fine at Atalanta.

Leaving aside the internal problems within these two clubs, they are the only ones apart from Napoli and Inter who could put together a squad capable of winning the Scudetto.
If you go to Roma or Lazio, you’ll never manage to win because they aren’t clubs capable of putting together a winning team

I disagree with that statement that if Gasperini wanted to win some then he should have gone to either Milan or Juventus.
 Roma in all sense happens to be one of the elite clubs in the Seria A and should be considered as a team with a possible potentials to win trophies, the only issue with Roma is management and if that is dealt with Roma could become a trophy winning team, the possibilities are there and that could be the reasons he picked to lead the there.

In the 2021-2022 season, when Milan won Serie A, they weren't playing well. I'd say they were playing very similarly to how they are playing now, so it's not very difficult for Milan to win the title; they just need to improve a little and Inter needs to dip in performance. But in Juventus' case, honestly, it's much more complicated. I don't see Juventus having the squad to win Serie A. But Milan, with a new coach, could possibly win Serie A. It might not be this season, which starts next month, but if the coach does well and stays for more seasons, he could win Serie A.

Back then Milan's productivity was still not at a great level as they didn't even have 2.00 goals per match. But still they were much better than now at least.

They finished this season with only 53 goals. That is really terrible offensive performance and there shouldn't be any doubt why they couldn't qualify for the Champions League.

This is why they spent more than €70m on a forward this summer. But will Ramos really be the scorer they have been searching for?

It is wrong to think or even say that Gasperini can only win trophies at Juventus or AC Milan.

Roma is a top clun with great potential we all know that. Which we also know that the management has its own problem. Roma has always had good players, but bad choices from the bosses have hold them back.

Gasperini is the perfect coach to fix in this, He has proved himself at Atalanta, that he can build a winning team without spending the most money like others. He probably chose Roma because he sees them as a sleeping giant. If the management can give him time to fix the internal issues, he can definitely turn Roma into a championship team no doubt on that.

When was the last time Roma won the scudetto? it was the 2000/20001 season, very, very long, if the problem is the management should have from that year until now they've been able to overcome it and win the Scudetto at least one. So it is not entirely wrong statement from babo.
of course, I can't rule out another possibility, Maybe it will be different in Gasperini hands, but the timing is really not convincing, whether it's 2 Seasons, 3 seasons to present the scudetto or maybe not at all, but if it's just a small trophy ( coppa italia or Italian supe Cup ) maybe it can, but still Roma need to invest more, because the problem is that their squad is not good enough.

Roma haven’t won the Scudetto for over 20 years; in Serie A, they’ve been unable to maintain the form needed to win the title.
They lack the winning mentality of the teams I’ve mentioned.
What’s more, every year the favourites to win the Scudetto are always Inter, Napoli, Milan and Juventus, so they already have to compete against four of Serie A’s top teams. It’s by no means easy for them

Yes, it's kind of Arsenal's story in terms of not being able to win a league championship for 20+ years. However I agree that Roma doesn't have the mentality unlike them... 

The board doesn't make investments according to that. They have one of the best managers of the Serie A but they don't have the squad for a title race. Maybe their finances might not be good but if it's vice versa then it's a shame they don't aim bigger!

This dude won Europa league with Atalanta, given enough time I am sure that he could turn Roma to a team that can win anything. Yes it may not be overnight, but this is the type of coach you get if you want to keep someone for a decade.

Because while some managers have ups and downs, he has small ups every single year. So there is a good chance Roma will be small amount of better every year he is in charge, and by the end he is going to end up winning the league for sure.
