Christian Pulisic returned to action for Milan as he recorded an assist in their win over Genoa to boost their chances of qualifying for the Champions League, while Weston McKennie and Juventus suffered a shock loss to Fiorentina.
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.
