Scudetto is a newsletter and podcast about Serie A and Italian football, run by and for people who care too much about narratives, results, tactics, history and the chaos that makes football on the peninsula so interesting.
We started as a podcast: three friends, a few “civilised” beers, and too many late nights watching matches. Now we’re back as a newsletter first, with occasional audio when the story demands it.

- Lazio make a statement, Juve point fingers, and Sarri would like a word.
- Azzurri secure seven points, Montella loses his job, and the FIGC’s president is now in charge of replacing himself
- Napoli stop the bleeding, Juventus unravel and Como go continental
- Late drama, five-goal thrillers and a quick exit in Florence

The Scudetto crew is here weekly to bring you up to speed on Italian football/soccer. Separated by borders and seas, three friends catch up over a civilised beer and discuss all things Serie A.
Sarri Seems to Be the Hardest Word – Scudetto
Hello Serie A fan,Lazio do their talking on the pitch. Juventus save theirs for the post-match interviews. And Maurizio Sarri would like to know why everyone else gets to tell the referee where to go.Boaz and Kenny pick through a weekend of statement wins, familiar failings and questionable defending. Gattuso’s Lazio leave Turin with three points and rather fewer doubters, while Spalletti’s Juventus finish with a pitch full of forwards and more fingers to point than answers.The first "Scudetto derby" of the season brings Milan an hour of dominance, Atalanta a belated comeback, and Kenny very little pleasure. Rabiot runs the show, Maignan puts rather a lot on the line, and Sarri discovers that some words are harder to get away with than others.Elsewhere, Inter keep the Pazza nickname alive, Roma bounce back with a Castro masterpiece, and De Roon’s new life remains a sensitive subject in Bergamo. Napoli run into a Stanković-inspired brick wall, while Como return to winning ways and Fiorentina contemplate another season of the same old story.Plus: Good Week / Bad Week, honourable and dishonourable mentions, Sassuolo defending in a manner that’s unfair to call schoolboy, and a six-year-old’s application to become Milan’s lucky charm.Read the newsletter: https://scudettopod.substack.comFollow us everywhere: @ScudettoPodSubscribe wherever you get your podcasts.Ciao ragazzi!
