The2010–11 Serie A (known as theSerie ATIM for sponsorship reasons) was the 109th season of top-tier Italianfootball, the 79th in around-robin tournament, and the 1st since its organization undera league committee separate fromSerie B. It began on 28 August 2010 and ended on 22 May 2011.[9]Internazionale were thedefending champions.
AC Milan won the 2010–11 Serie A and their 18th league title overall with a scoreless draw away toRoma on 7 May 2011.[10] This result ensured that with two rounds remaining AC Milan's nearest rival Internazionale could only draw level on points, and AC Milan holds the tiebreaker based on their better head-to-head record.[11] The result prompted celebrations at AC Milan'sPiazza del Duomo.[12] The trophy was presented at AC Milan's next home game on 14 May.[13]
It was AC Milan's firstScudetto since 2004 and it ended a run of five successive Serie A titles by their rival Internazionale. It was the first league title for managerMassimiliano Allegri, winning in his first year with AC Milan and who was for many a surprise choice as manager.[14] AC Milan led the table for most of the season[10] and secured the title with two games remaining. Notably, they defeated defending champions Internazionale twice during the season and also did the same to third place challengerNapoli.[15] AC Milan were credited for strengthening their squad withZlatan Ibrahimović andRobinho in the summer as well as picking upAntonio Cassano andMark van Bommel in January.[15]
This would be the last Scudetto not won by Juventus until the2020–21 Serie A.
The rules for the registration of non-EU (or non-EFTA or Swiss) nationals transferred from abroad were revised in the summer of 2010 and announced on 2 July 2010. Clubs could only sign one (rather than two previously) non-EU player and that player could only be signed if a current member of the squad who was not an EU national had been sold or sold abroad.[16][17] The late announcement of this rule change meant that some clubs had to cancel incoming transfers.Parma, for example, were to sign both ColombianPablo Armero from Brazilian sidePalmeiras, who subsequently signed forUdinese instead, and Brazilian agency playerZé Eduardo, but had to choose between them and eventually transferred the latter. Their outgoing transfer wasJulio César de León, who moved to Chinese teamShandong Luneng Taishan.
The league featured 17 teams returning from the2009–10 Serie A, plus three teams promoted from2009–10 Serie B (two as direct promotions, one as playoff winners). On 30 May 2010,Lecce andCesena won direct promotion to the Serie A by finishing first and second, respectively.Brescia became the third Serie B team promoted on 13 June 2010 by winning the promotion playoff final 2–1 on aggregate overTorino. It was a quick turn-around for Lecce, which spent only one year in Serie B after being relegated from the2008–09 Serie A. Cesena last played in Serie A in1990–91, while Brescia played five seasons in Serie B after being relegated from A in2004–05.
