Serie A Betting – Inter Milan Still Setting the Standard
Having enjoyed unprecedented success last season in winning the treble, Inter Milan clearly set the standard as we look ahead to the 2010/11 season, priced 2.00* on the odds to win Serie A at Bet365 Sportsbook. The departure of Jose Mourinho does however provide a new dynamic, with Rafa Benitez the man charged with maintaining success at the club. One of his first tasks is trying to keep the successful squad together, while bringing in new talent. Benitez is probably resigned to losing Mario Balotelli who was a controversial figure last season, but can at least use a sizeable transfer fee to find a suitable replacement. It was notable that Inter won the 2010 Champions League final without a single Italian born player in the starting line-up, and given the shadow that Italys terrible performance at the World Cup has cast over the Azzurri players, this maybe another positive for Benitez.
Having finished seventh last season, Juventus wont have the distraction of the Champions League as they look to put a terrible season behind them. The Old Lady has made a new permanent managerial appointment in Luigi Gigi Delneri who moves from Sampdoria into the hot seat at Juve. This is a significant step up in Delneris career to date, but the his achievement in leading Sampdoria to fourth last season with wins over all the four main clubs swayed the decision. Beppe Moratta also joins Juventus from Sampdoria as director general, while Andrea Agnelli -the last of the famous Fiat dynasty – is the club president looking to bring back the success that his father, uncle and grandfather achieved at the club.
