Serie A was back this weekend around Italy, with Inter, the 2025-2026 Scudetto winners, looking to defend the title in the new season. AC Milan, their cross-city rivals, made some key signings in the summer after replacing the coach and the whole club hierarchy after the disappointing end to the last campaign, and they appointed former Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim to lead the new cycle. Six teams replaced their coaches, including Napoli, which saw Antonio Conte leave the Azzurri after two seasons and appointed former AC Milan and Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri.
But we also have our first four sackings of the Serie A season as Fiorentina replaced Fabio Grosso, who was hired in the summer, after three games in charge and called back Paolo Vanoli to lead the team and Bologna fired Domenico Tedesco after four matches and replaced him with Raffaele Palladino. Over the international break, Parma decided to part ways with manager Carlos Cuesta and appointed Alberto Gilardino, while Venezia sacked Giovanni Stroppa after six defeats in a row. Let's take a look at our power rankings after the sixth matchday of the season: Don't miss all the Serie A action all season long across Paramount+, CBS Sports Network and CBS Sports Golazo Network.
From Italy's biggest teams to America's biggest stars, Serie A has it all, and Paramount+ is the home for every minute of the action until a Scudetto winner is crowned. The Nerazzurri showed their dominance against Parma at San Siro on Saturday, winning 3-0 against the side now led by Alberto Gilardino. It was a strong performance by the Nerazzurri that closed the game in less than 30 minutes and then they handled the remaining part of their home win.
AS Roma drew away against Como in the first goalless match of the Serie A season. The match completely changed in the second half when Donyell Malen was sent off, but the Giallorossi were able to avoid their first defeat of the season against a strong team. For sure, they are still at the top and can challenge Inter this season.
Another strong performance but it's not even a surprise anymore. Como are a serious candidate for the top four and potentially even more but playing the Champions League as well can influence their rotations in the league. The home draw against AS Roma was only another confirmation of how good this team is.
Gennaro Gattuso has done an incredible job here and Lazio are leading the Serie A standings alongside Inter right now. I don't expect them to stay at the top for much longer, but this is a team that struggled over the summer and is operating amid growing tension between the fanbase and the ownership. Credit to Gattuso for what he's doing at Lazio.
