Eight-time straight and reigning
Serie A champs Juve will open their title defence under new
coach Maurizio Sarri at Parma Saturday, the same day that Carlo
Ancelotti's Napoli travel to Fiorentina which has just signed
Franck Ribery.
On Sunday Inter, under new coach Antonio Conte, will host
Lecce while Rome entertain Genoa, AC Milan goes to Udinese and
Lazio travels to Samp.
Observers expect Inter to put up a better fight against Juve
than Napoli did last year, thanks to Conte and a bolstered
attack featuring ex Man U duo Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez.
Sarri is recovering from pneumonia and will sit out the first
two games of the season.
