Federico Dimarco has been named Serie A’s best player for the 2025/26 season at the Gran Gala del Calcio, held at Milan’s Teatro alla Scala on Wednesday evening
As noted by AlfredoPedulla.com, the Inter left-back headed a strong night for the Nerazzurri, who were also named club of the year and provided four of the eleven players selected in the team of the season.
It caps a remarkable rise for a player who came through Inter’s own youth system and spent spells at Sion, Parma and Hellas Verona before establishing himself at San Siro.
Fabregas and Nico Paz take Como honours
Cesc Fabregas was voted coach of the year after leading Como into the Champions League for the first time in the club’s history, while his young playmaker Nico Paz was named the best young player in Serie A and made the team of the season.
