#3. Sassuolo, the beacon of Italian football
Sassuolo are at the moment level with Juventus with 3 wins from 4 games in Serie A. They’re also just coming off the back off a splendid 3-0 home win against Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League.
The way they’ve been juggling their Serie A and Europa League commitments has been an absolute joy to watch so far. For a club that was down in the lower rungs of Italian football just a few years ago, their recent success has illustrated how they are amongst some of the best run clubs in world football.
Eusebio Di Francesco is a brilliant young manager as well, and makes his team practice their movements in training so well that they move like a synchronized unit on the field and have made up for the absences of Nicola Sansone (sold to Villareal) and Sime Vrsaljko (sold to Atletico Madrid) without too many problems.
Their Italian identity, fluid and cohesive footballing style and consistency have truly made them a beacon of Italian football.
