Buon Natale from everyone at Football Italia!

Everyone at Football Italia wishes our readers all over the world a very Merry Christmas, though we will not be leaving you entirely without Calcio content over the holidays.

There will be no more news stories until December 27, as we too adhere to the Serie A break.

However, keep an eye on the site for analysis and opinion on the current state of Italian football, including the crisis around Stefano Pioli at Milan, how far Inter could go, Juventus ambitions and what has gone so wrong at Napoli.

The Serie A break is shorter than usual this year, as there will be another round of games played on December 29 and 30, including Juventus-Roma, Milan-Sassuolo, Genoa-Inter and Napoli-Monza.

Buon Natale a tutti!
