The 2026-27 season begins on Saturday, and Football Italia takes a look at which new signings are expected to become regular starters and the new coaches you’ll see on the dugout.
The wait is nearly over as a new Serie A campaign is set to begin with four games on Saturday: Inter-Monza and Udinese-Como at 18:30 CET, Parma-Cagliari and Genoa-Napoli at 20:45 CET.
The summer transfer window is not over yet, which many coaches are not happy about, so most teams in Italy’s top flight are still not complete.
There are, however, several new signings that are expected to become immediate starters at their new clubs.
Como, for example, are expected to make big changes at the back with three new starters, including ex-Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah, one of the six English players to have moved to Serie A this summer.
Inter signed two of them, John Stones and Djed Spence, but as things stand, only the latter is a guaranteed starter, having moved to San Siro from Tottenham to replace Denzel Dumfries.
Juventus will also look to ex-Tottenham men: Guglielmo Vicario in goal and Randal Kolo Muani in attack.
Milan have signed Mario Gila at the back, Diego Moreira on the left flank and Gonçalo Ramos in attack. Nahuel Molina and Rodrigo Mora are expected to feature regularly in Roma’s XI, while Fiorentina will change half of their starting XI from last season, with six new regular starters.
Below, you can check all the probable line-ups for the new season, bearing in mind that Serie A clubs have time until September 1 to bring in more new faces and complete their teams.
