Is there anything more exhilarating than taking the managerial hot seat in EA Sports FC 25 and leading a legendary Italian giant back to glory? I think not! As we stand in 2026, Serie A isn't just back; it's an absolute powerhouse, a tactical battleground where history, passion, and raw talent collide. From the fashion capital of Milan to the ancient streets of Rome, the league is brimming with clubs begging for a visionary like me to take over. Forget a simple rebuild—this is about crafting a dynasty, writing a new chapter in the annals of calcio. The question isn't if you should manage in Italy, but which iconic jersey you'll wear on the touchline. Are you ready for the challenge?

🏆 7. Latium (Lazio): The Underdog's Symphony

They call them Latium in the game, but I know them as the sleeping giant of Rome! With a modest $20 million war chest and a 4.5-star rating, this isn't a job for the faint-hearted—it's for a true architect. Sure, their trophy cabinet (two Scudetti, seven Coppa Italias) might seem modest compared to the giants, but that's what makes it perfect! The core is solid, but the symphony needs a new conductor. My first move? Making Nicolò Rovella's loan permanent. This midfield maestro has the potential to become the heartbeat of my team for a decade. The mission here is clear: outsmart the financial heavyweights and build a team greater than the sum of its parts. Can I turn the Stadio Olimpico into a fortress of my own making?

Talk about momentum! In 2026, managing Bergamo Calcio is like being handed the keys to a Formula 1 car that's already on the podium. $48 million and a 4.5-star squad fresh off a legendary Europa League triumph? Sign me up! I don't need to lay a foundation—it's already rock-solid with superstars like the wall-like Marco Carnesecchi in goal, the dynamic Éderson in midfield, and the explosive Ademola Lookman up front. My job? To evolve these giant-slayers into consistent title winners. The pressure is on from day one. The fans expect not just beautiful, attacking football, but silverware. Will I have the nerve to tinker with a winning formula, or will I let this vibrant squad loose on Serie A and Europe?

Ah, Roma! The city of emperors, and a club with an empire-sized legacy. Three league titles, nine Coppa Italias—the history weighs heavy on the famous giallorossi shirt. In 2026, they've hit a rough patch, and that's exactly when a legend steps in. With $30 million and a 4.5-star squad featuring the magical Paulo Dybala and the promising Artem Dovbyk, this is a project that stirs the soul. This isn't just management; it's restoration. Can I be the manager who brings stability back to the Stadio Olimpico? The fans are among the most passionate in the world—they deserve to see their team where it belongs. The challenge is monumental, but the glory? Eternal.

🌊 4. SSC Napoli: The Southern Storm

$90 MILLION! Let that sink in. Managing Napoli in 2026 means having the financial firepower to launch a full-scale assault on Serie A. No European distractions in the first season? That's a blessing! I can focus 100% on crafting a title-winning machine. And the first item on my agenda? Bringing Victor Osimhen back from loan and unleashing him. Forget real-life dramas; in my world, he's the most feared striker on the peninsula. The attack is already scintillating, but with that budget, I can plug the few gaps and build a squad deep enough to conquer Italy and then Europe. The city of Naples lives and breathes football—can I deliver the Scudetto back to the passionate Partenopei?

⚫⚪ 3. Juventus: Restoring the Crown

This is it. The big one. Juventus. The most decorated club in Italian history. Managing them isn't a job; it's a sacred duty. The past few years have seen the Old Lady stumble, but in 2026, with a staggering $134 million budget, I am the chosen one to restore the natural order! The spine is world-class: the rock Bremer in defense, the prolific Dušan Vlahović up front, and the elegant Manuel Locatelli pulling strings. And the kids! Kenan Yıldız and Khéphren Thuram are diamonds waiting to be polished into global superstars. The expectation is simple: win. Win everything. The pressure in Turin is immense, but the chance to write my name alongside the greats like Trapattoni and Lippi? That's the dream. Failure is not an option.

❤️🖤 2. Milano FC (AC Milan): The Rossoneri Renaissance

Seven European Cups. Let that legacy echo in the halls of San Siro. Managing AC Milan is about connecting past glory with future dominance. With $113 million and a 4.5-star squad, the tools are exquisite. From the unbeatable Mike Maignan in goal to the electrifying Rafael Leão on the wing, this team has star power in every line. I have a squad blend veterans with incredible young talents just begging for guidance. My task? To orchestrate a renaissance. To make the red and black stripes feared across Europe once again. Every match at the San Siro is a spectacle, and the ghosts of Maldini, Baresi, and Van Basten are watching. Will I lead this historic club back to the summit of the Champions League?

And here we are. The pinnacle. The only Italian team to have never been relegated. The defending champions. Lombardia FC—Inter Milan—is the ultimate power fantasy in EA Sports FC 25. A 5-star rating and a $75 million budget for what is already the finest team in Italy? This isn't a rebuild; it's a refinement. Every position is filled with a world-class operator. Winning Serie A might feel like a formality, but the real test, the glorious challenge, is conquering Europe. The Champions League is the final frontier, where the best of England and Spain lie in wait. Managing Inter is about sustaining excellence, about making tactical masterstrokes in crunch matches, and about proving that this Nerazzurri machine, under my command, is the best in the world. The pressure is immense, but the potential for immortality? It's right there for the taking. FORZA INTER!
