After ten matchdays of the 2025-26 Serie A season, AS Roma have climbed to the top of the CBS Sports power rankings, overtaking defending champions Inter Milan following a dramatic Derby della Madonnina loss. Roma's consistency and league-leading 28 goals have propelled them above Inter, who conceded two early goals in the derby and failed to recover.
Top of the Table
Roma lead the rankings with a four-point gap over Lazio, who sit atop the actual standings under new coach Gennaro Gattuso. However, concerns remain about Lazio's squad depth. Como, surprisingly, hold third place, praised for playing some of the best football in Italy despite Champions League commitments.
Milan Resurgence
AC Milan remain steady in fifth after their derby victory, but new manager Ruben Amorim demands greater consistency against lower-ranked opponents. The Rossoneri's summer overhaul appears to be paying dividends.
Coaching Carousel
The early season has seen unprecedented managerial turnover: Fiorentina rehired Paolo Vanoli after dismissing Fabio Grosso; Bologna replaced Domenico Tedesco with Raffaele Palladino; Parma appointed Alberto Gilardino; Venezia brought in Davide Nicola; and Udinese sacked Kosta Runjaic for Paolo Zanetti.
Notable Movers
Frosinone sit sixth with six wins, while Juventus and Napoli struggle in seventh and eighth respectively. Napoli's 14 points represent their worst start in eight years, putting Massimiliano Allegri under pressure. Bologna have surged to ninth with four wins in five games under Palladino.
At the bottom, Venezia and Lecce face relegation battles, while Monza's Gustavo Varela has scored nine goals in nine games despite the team's lowly position.
