In the opening of the Serie A season, AC Milan suffered a 1-2 loss to newly promoted Cremonese, with Christian Pulisic showing moments of quality but failing to impact the scoreline significantly. In Serie B, Jonathan Klinsmann excelled, securing a 3-1 victory for Cesena against Pescara. Other Americans like Gianluca Busio, Weston McKennie and Andrija Novakovich had mixed results.
Andrija Novakovich has joined AC Reggiana 1919 on a two-year contract after leaving Venezia. The American forward, who has spent time on loan at Lecco and Bari, sought a permanent move after not fitting into Venezia’s plans. Reggiana aims to improve from their 14th place finish in Serie B last season.
Christian Pulisic’s standout performance with a goal led AC Milan to a 2-0 victory over Bari in the Coppa Italia. Venezia, led by Gianluca Busio, dominated Mantova with a 4-0 win. Meanwhile, Jonathan Klinsmann’s strong penalty shootout display was overshadowed as Cesena fell to Pisa after missing four penalties.
