It was no surprise to hear this morning that Inter coach Gasperini had been sacked after a hapless start to his managerial career, a start that with just one game to go in round four sees Inter Milan, European Champions in 2010, in the relegation zone. Rumours are abound that Claudio Ranieri will take over and he at least has big club experience from his time at Valencia, Chelsea and Juventus. Whether he will be the answer for Inter's woeful start remains to be seen but things could not continue especially after a horrendous 3-1 defeat to Novara last night.
However, this was not a round for the big guns as Milan, Juve and Napoli all failed to pick up three points which leave Genoa top of Serie A, on goal difference, tonight. Milan and Juve both failed to beat Udinese and Bologna respectively with Juve down to ten men for the last 45 minutes of their match. Napoli did not fare much better either having fell 1-0 in Verona after their heroics against Milan on Sunday night. An unpredictable round it was and no game illustrated this more than Lazio's win in Cesena. Having put in a limp first half performance and trailing at half time Lazio overturned the score through Hernanes and Klose within minutes in the second half.
Two teams flying under the radar, for different reasons are Atalanta and Fiorentina. The viola recored their second win of the campaign with Stefan Jovetic hitting a brace while Atalanta have now wiped out their points penalty, after just three rounds, to put them up to 15th in the table. Not many would have thought that possible at the beginning of the season. Then again, not many would have thought Milan and Inter would be in the bottom half of the table. It looks wide open and unpredictable this campaign and that should just add to the excitement.
