DAZN is the home of Serie A this season, with every match of the 2025-26 season streamed live in the UK and Ireland, along with live Spanish-language broadcasts of all matches in the United States.

That makes it easier than ever to follow the action in Italy's top flight, which is awash with big-name bosses such as Antonio Conte, Maurizio Sarri and Cesc Fabregas.

Here, DAZN News takes a look at 20 managers who make up this season's top flight. 

AC Milan - Massimiliano Allegri

The Italian was reappointed as Milan’s head coach in May, having previously managed them from June 2010 to January 2014.
