Serie A, Ligi ya ubabani inarudi rasmi leo
A Juventus side strengthened by the signing of Argentina forward Carlos Tevez begin their bid for a third successive league title when the Italian Serie A gets under way on Saturday.
Antonio Conte's side eased to the championship last season, finishing nine points ahead of nearest challengers Napoli.
They begin 2013-14 at Sampdoria and sent a warning to their rivals last weekend with a dominant 4-0 win against Lazio in the Super Cup.
Tevez, a summer signing from Manchester City, made his debut in that game, scoring Juventus's fourth goal.
Conte also increased his attacking options over the summer with the signing of Spain forward Fernando Llorente from Athletic Bilbao, while keeping together the core of the side that has dominated Italian football for the past two years.
Last season's runners-up Napoli now have former Chelsea boss Rafael Benitez in charge.
They begin against Bologna on Sunday without the firepower of Uruguay forward Edinson Cavani, who joined Paris St-Germain in the summer.
But Benitez appears to have invested wisely, bringing in striker Gonzalo Higuain from Real Madrid, while goalkeeper Pepe Reina has joined from Liverpool.
AC Milan, champions in 2011, will also have their eye on a title challenge. However, they are without 10 players for Saturday's opener against Hellas Verona - including midfielders Kevin-Prince Boateng and Nigel De Jong.
In other games, Inter Milan host Genoa on Sunday while Fiorentina - strengthened by the signing of Germany striker Mario Gomez from Bayern Munich - face Catania on Monday.
