The Serie A was the best league in Europe in 1993-95. As someone living in Africa, I will say the Serie A did not build on its popularity to push its marketing into the African market in those years. In Nigeria, the transfer of Kanu Nwankwo from Inter to Arsenal and the circumstances around it really caused local animosity against Italian football and sparked off interest in the EPL. The EPL saw this opportunity and began to make huge inroads into the African market via aggressive marketing. When Didier Drogba and other African players arrived in England, it was game, set and match. Italian football's appeal in Africa has not recovered since despite a renaissance in the Serie A. Why Nigerians are even starting to watch the Serie A with some renewed interest is because of Victor Osimhen. In his current form, it is only a matter of time before some bid-spending EPL club comes calling.

LaLiga has Real, Barcelona and Atletico, but the rest cant spend much while in Italy you still have Inter and Roma that are spending fair amount of money.

Serie A in the 90s was the best league not just then but perhaps the history of football. There are many factors for the falling of its financial strength. Italian economy in general has been declining for many years, global TV broadcast falling behind EPL (language and commercialization) and also overspending and scandals in latter years of the glory days really killed off few clubs (Juven, Fiorentina, Lazio, Parma and more). Honestly I don't mind less spending on the market by Serie A clubs today but would like to see more local young talents get more chances.

Doubt it, italy has been on a decline in every aspect and so has its football, Euro 2020 won't be repeated again

There are several reasons why Serie A, the top professional football league in Italy, does not generate as much revenue as the English Premier League: Lack of Marketing: Serie A has traditionally not been marketed as aggressively as the English Premier League. The Premier League has invested heavily in promoting its brand globally, whereas Serie A has not focused as much on marketing itself as a league. Stadium Infrastructure: Many Serie A teams play in older stadiums with limited seating and outdated facilities, which can negatively impact the fan experience and limit revenue-generating opportunities. In contrast, many English Premier League teams play in modern, state-of-the-art stadiums that can accommodate larger crowds and offer more amenities for fans. TV Rights: The English Premier League has negotiated more lucrative TV rights deals than Serie A. The Premier League's global appeal and popularity means that TV broadcasters are willing to pay top dollar for the rights to show their matches. In contrast, Serie A's limited global appeal means that its TV rights deals are not as lucrative. Competition: The English Premier League is widely regarded as the most competitive football league in the world, with multiple teams capable of winning the title each year. In contrast, Serie A has been dominated by Juventus for much of the past decade, which has reduced the competitiveness of the league and potentially deterred fans from tuning in. Economic Stability: Italian football has struggled with financial instability in recent years, with many clubs facing significant debt and financial difficulties. This has led to a lack of investment in infrastructure and player development, which has further reduced the league's competitiveness and global appeal.

I enjoy Italian calcio a lot, Serie A's easily my second favourite league after Prem. The fall of Juve has done wonders for the league and there's many club capable of winning the title. Of course Napoli is clearly the best team this season and they'll win Scudetto (they deserve it 100%) but last few seasons have been incredibly exciting with Milano clubs battling it out for the title. The league needs more investment, that's true. Serie A definitely needs better marketing as well. Potential is there but they need use it MUCH, MUCH better. Hopefully Napoli wins the UCL this year. It would be a great boost for Italian football. Napoli's got an incredible squad built with clever signings. The style of their play is magnificent. That club and its fan base has suffered way too much. Scudetto is a big thing but imagine the UCL. Oh man, that would be a big win for football.

In the 90's and early 00's Italian football felt like the jewel in the crown of European football. It felt like most clubs had at least one standout star, with the top clubs having some of the best squads around. I cant help feel but the calciopoli scandal led to mistrust from fans and sponsors towards the league, and they have never truly recovered. Whilst at the same time the other major Leagues made huge steps forward in their marketing and broadcast sales that has led to their prosperity. It will be interesting to see if the controversy around Man City's and Barcelona's finances have any kind of impact on the prosperity of those leagues now, or whether they are already too big to fail.

Juventus, Ac Milan, AS Roma, & Inter Milan posters is everywhere during that time. Almost every boys at that time at least have one Serie A Player poster in their room, it's really that big.

There's a lot of factors why Serie A are financially constraint: 1. Most Serie A clubs bar Juventus and Atalanta plays in stadiums the City Council own examples San Siro and Stadio Olimpico yes both Milan and Rome clubs play their but they don't own the stadium so expansion for them requires permission from the City Council. 2. No league in the world can compete with the Premier League in terms of marketing and advertising. Ac Milan won Serie A last season and got the prize money however Norwich finished rock bottom in the Premier League last season still earns more money than Milan. 3. In the Premier League, anyone can win it Leicester did in 2016 but with Serie A bar the last three seasons Juventus dominated for nine years and tuned most fans out. 4. The effects of the Calciopoli scandal remains till this day. Before the scandal Serie A was regarded the best league in the world but since then fell off to obscurity but it's starting to recover. 5. Serie A clubs since Inter Milan won the Champions League title in 2010 hasn't done well in Europe and hardly reached an European final bar Juventus in 2015 and 2017 in the Champions League and Inter Milan in the 2020 Europa League final. 6. Premier League has a huge broadcast rights all Premier League clubs and all clubs benefits from it while Serie A don't have a huge broadcast rights nor does every club benefits from it. Unless the Italian FA can overturn the marketing campaign to make Serie A great again and other Serie A clubs build their own stadiums, expect more financial constraint and financial irregularities in Italian football.

Same goes for other leagues. Milan cannot spend as much they would like because of mismanagement that devalued the brand when the club was at the top (with the new ownership things are changing and in the next 10 years the club will have a much stronger financial position and be a top10 team money wise) while Juve went broke chasing the UCL dreams. In the 80s/90s football wasn't nearly as popular as it is today so the only markets for TV deals were the domestic ones. When Asia and NA's markets grew they obviously went for the UCL first and then for the only english speaking league. Bundesliga is arguably the best-managed league in Europe but yet it cannot sell its product as well as the Premier League does, it's just a fact. Serie A, with better management, can only hope to reach BL level, not more.

Italian clubs have been doing well in Europe so far. Napoli might have a chance to win CL and Milan have had their best CL showing since 2012. Hopefully Inter can progress too. Infrastructure is quite bad too. A lot of the problems with Serie A will take a while to fix.

@@alexojideagu and this is exactly the reason you're wrong. Italy dominated the euros and thoroughly deserved to win it as they kept a great form for almost 3 years, then things starting to fall apart not due to the team having become suddenly mediocre but because somebody trusted some players that weren't as decisive as they thought (and yes i'm referring to those 2 missed penalties by jorginho against Switzerland, if they'd been more astute they would have taken that chance and beat switzerland and would have eventually flown to Qatar, unfortunately some players are just too stubborn to take a step back and trust their teammates. As for Serie A, their main problems regard the infrastructures and tv rights being absolutely not at the level of a top 5 league in europe, and this is something that they should have sorted it out way before

SerieA may lack money but there's more passion and local players are involved. It's why I love watching teams like Monza,Spezia etc

of course the media rights are undervalued. The problem is the EPL's aggressive marketing basically hyperinflated their value this allowing Leeds and Bournemouth to out spend entire leagues

One of the reasons, obviously there are other reasons too, is the revenue from gates in Serie A is very low because attendances are very low. In the 70s, 80s and 90s attendances were very high in Italian top flight football: the Milan clubs would attract gates of 70,000 plus at the San Siro, Juve between 55 to 65,000 at the Stadio Communale and later at the Stadio Delle Alpi, Roma would get 65 to 75,000 at the Olympico and even perennial underachievers Fiorentina would fill the Artemio Franchi stadium with 55,000.

It's a good thing that both Milan clubs and Napoli have a chance to make the UCL quarterfinals, that's at least an extra 10m in prize money, not to mention TV money. There hadn't been an Italian club in the QFs in four of five years I believe

And the same economics that has created the issues for many teams in the lower divisions. And a lot of those teams have not had to think about having to optimize their operations in that way. The problems for a lot of Europe--Russia included--is that the demographic profile doesn't help the "within Europe" demand at all as something that is fairly okay for local sport. I've felt teams needed to spend more of the extra revenue on expanding their scouting bases for a while. But I'm ready for genuinely interesting Champions Leagues, Europa Leagues, etc.

you missed two key points that affect italian football on a whole. First that italian clubs get very little income from tv rights compared the premier league and spanish teams and that making top 4 can make or break a clubs balance sheet. Second of all because of the lack of tv money, italian clubs are heavily reliant on matchday revenue and because of the impact of covid19, a lot of clubs are in debt and are still repaying loans that they needed to offset the loss of covid matchday income.

I have happy memories of Football Italia on a Sunday afternoon in the 90s. Maybe it's all rose-tinted, but I miss those days, and that goes for all football.

In terms of infrastructure and global reach? Nothing! They have 3 clubs that are heritage clubs and historical European powerhouses but the infrastructure isn’t there. Instead of promoting Serie A they spent years undermining it with dodgy accounting and match fixing. Low crowds, abusive ultras, racism and dour football also made the league look like a poor choice. I actually think though Serie A has an opportunity to use this as a positive - they can start again. The league is more exciting to watch currently. They just need to take a measured approach to how they market the league and it’s teams. Push for investment in infrastructure and emphasise the positives of being in Italy. Encourage more innovation - in Italy it’s so hard for non explayers or people without contacts to become a coach. It’s a closed shop.

Italian football had its peak from the early 90's to early 2000's, but then the Premier League money started to show and La Liga benefited of having the two best players in the world playing for the two best clubs in Spain. Bayern also grew a lot and the Bundesliga started winning Champions League money. The same happened with PSG and France. Serie A just simply stalled. Still, italian football is way more interesting to watch than La Liga in my opinion.

You forgot to mention the problems about the stadiums: in Italy almost every stadium (except for Juventus and Sassuolo once) are property of the municipality, so the teams have to pay a fee every year to obtain the right to play in the stadium. Due to the incredibly heavy bureaucracy it's almost impossible to built a stadium in Italy in less than 20 years (look at the Roma Stadium or San Siro for example, there is a project for 10 years but nobody is able to make anything because of legal questions). May I let you know the case of the team of my town, U.S. Lecce, which has a 30k seats stadium owned by the municipality, Lecce was forced to pay 1/3 of its budget for renting the plant and the municipality has been refusing to renovate a part of the stadium (the curva est) which is literally in danger of collapsing and US Lecce is forced to restrict the capacity of the stadium and so in consequence to obtain less money from tickets

Remove Barcelona and Madrid, La liga is as poor as Italy.

If you have to spend big in the winter transfer window you either screwed up in summer big time or something unforeseeable happened like the Neuer have a ski accident and Bayern needs a replacement quick. Maybe the Italian clubs just realized, that a panic buy in the winter would not rescue their season.

Guys were complaining about the Super League but the truth is that there is already a super league in the process of being formed. The premier league clubs were quick to pull out of the super league because they knew that they don't need it. They knew that they are going to have the super league one way or another, with all the money flooding into the EPL. Meanwhile, the clubs from the other leagues knew that in the absence of the Super League, their financial muscle will be significantly overshadowed by EPL clubs.

Wasn't Italian football the best league in the world generally for the 1980s and 1990s? Weren't their clubs also spending the most during the 1990s and even early into the 2000s? So was this is a case of spending too much too soon, then desperately trying to keep up with England, and to a lesser extent Spain? Or did they just fail to market their well enough to keep it progressing? Personally I've always thought that eventually the EPL would be viewed the most etc anyway simply because the English language is more well known around the world making it easier to follow and watch.
