Centre-midfield- Marek Hamsik (Napoli)
The Slovakian playmaker is blessed with superb vision, and his ability to drop deep to pick the ball up from the midfield and spray passes around in attack was vital to Napoli’s return to the Champions League.
He scored 11 goals as well as assisted 14 from his slightly altered position on the left side of attack, creating 100 chances for his teammates.
Attacking midfielder – Francesco Totti (AS Roma)
It is impossible to leave the evergreen Italian attacking-midfielder out as he shows no sign of slowing down with age. His 12 goals moved him up to second on the all-time Serie A goal-scoring list with 227, while his 12 assists helped Roma salvage a disruptive season to finish a respectable sixth in the league, as well as runners-up in the Coppa Italia.

Despite reaching the ripe old age of 36, Totti still managed 33 starts for the Giallorossi and remains integral to their fortunes.
Attacking midfielder – Stephan El Shaarawy (AC Milan)
The Egyptian-born youngster celebrated breaking into the Italian squad at the start of the season with a brilliant campaign where he scored 16 goals and assisted four to help the Rossoneri into third place.
From his position on the left side of Max Allegri’s three-pronged attack, the 20-year-old demonstrated electric pace, confidence to take men on, and assured finishing throughout, striking up a potent partnership with fellow youthful frontman Mario Balotelli.
Centre-Forward – Edinson Cavani (Napoli)
The 26-year-old Uruguayan hit-man is courting interest from all across Europe this summer, and rightly so, after a season in which he struck 29 goals to fire Napoli back to the Champions League after a year’s absence.
Full of pace, power and unerring finishing, Cavani is arguably the best centre-forward in Europe and Rafael Benitez has a fight on his hands to keep the league’s top scorer at the San Paulo with his ambition to win trophies consistently outweighing last year’s Coppa Italia.
Manager- Vincenzo Montella (Fiorentina)
Antonio Conte saw his team march to a successive title by a margin of nine points, whilst Walter Mazzarri and Max Allegri both negotiated choppy waters at their clubs to finish in the Champions League qualification spots. Though it’s the manager who claimed the fourth who wins this gong – Vincenzo Montella for forging a cohesive, fluent Fiorentina.
His midfield of David Pizarro, Borja Valero and Alberto Aquilani were all transformed from stalling careers to providing the elegant backbone to La Viola, providing some of the most entertaining football in the division.
Stevan Jovetic and Adem Ljajic were excellent in attack, spearheading Montella’s 3-5-2 to a higher finish than the richer, more illustrious Inter Milan, Roma and Lazio.
