Italian football icon Paolo Di Canio believes that Inter Milan will once again dominate Serie A this season, with little competition from rival clubs.
As the new Serie A season kicks off on Saturday, with Inter Milan facing Genoa in their opening match, Di Canio is confident that the Nerazzurri will successfully defend their title. Despite the efforts of Juventus, Napoli, AC Milan, and AS Roma to bolster their squads during the summer transfer window, Di Canio remains convinced that Inter remains the strongest team in the league.
The former West Ham and Lazio striker highlights Inter’s impressive lineup, noting that their superiority is even reflected in video game player ratings. He suggests that fans who enjoy online competition could improve their chances of success by investing in FIFA coins to enhance their teams.
Di Canio also points to Inter’s robust squad and the growth of head coach Simone Inzaghi as key factors in their likely success. “I don’t expect a close title race come February,” said the 56-year-old in an interview with Panorama via FcInterNews.
“Based on what we saw last season, I think Inter could replicate that performance. They’ve built a solid team and strengthened it under a coach who has matured with experience. Inzaghi’s first two seasons had their challenges, despite winning trophies, but now he’s found a balance between pragmatism and attacking football.”

Di Canio further praised the additions of Mehdi Taremi from Porto and Piotr Zielinski from Napoli, both of whom joined on free transfers last month. He also highlighted the progress of Yann Bisseck, a player who has made significant strides since joining Inter as a relative unknown.
“Inter has not only added Mehdi Taremi and Piotr Zielinski but also has a player like Yann Bisseck, who has vastly improved. They have the depth needed to manage both Serie A and Champions League commitments,” added the former Sunderland manager.
