The Turin club remains a mid-table side in domestic football. Last season, they confirmed that status by collecting 45 points and, by tie-breakers, finishing in twelfth place. This summer, they placed their bet on Abate—the new coach made his debut in the cup match against Carrarese. He won thanks to an early goal from Simeone, which turned out to be the only one of the game.
The “San Siro” giants endured a disappointing campaign the season before last, winning only the Super Cup and dropping to nearly mid-table. A year ago, Allegri returned to the head coach position. Until spring, they managed to keep up with neighbors Inter. But not only did they fail to become leaders, they eventually even finished below Como, ending up fifth and missing out on a Champions League return. Now a new manager, Rúben Amorim, starts his tenure.
Last season, Torino averaged only 1.16 goals scored per game, conceding 1.66—half a goal more. Pulisic and his teammates scored 1.39 per match but conceded just 0.92.
