Summary

Jon Mackenzie and James Horncastle are here to discuss why Italy’s title race is so open and which teams are involved in the Scudetto challenge. Serie A has had the most diverse group of title winners across the last few seasons. Why is that the case? Why has there been so much change at Napoli? Has Inter underperformed in the league the past few seasons? Is this make or break season for manager Stefano Pioli at Milan? Where are we at right now in the Juventus saga? This episode of the Tifo Football Podcast is presented by Jon Mackenzie, produced by Mike Zimmermann. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
