Simone Sozza will officiate this weekend’s big Serie A match between Napoli and Milan, while Daniele Doveri is the referee for Fiorentina vs. Atalanta.

The domestic competition returns after the break for international duty and there are several big fixtures in the battle for both the Scudetto and European places.

The most intriguing is at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday at 19.45 GMT, as second-placed Napoli host struggling Milan.

Sozza has been assigned to that fixture and Milan have fond memories, as he was in charge of the Supercoppa Italiana Final in January when they beat Inter 3-2 to lift the trophy.

However, he also officiated their 2-1 defeat to Torino last month.

Napoli have not won with Sozza since September 2022, as he oversaw the 1-0 defeat to Inter in January 2023 and 2-2 draw with Roma in April 2024.
