Federico Dimarco named Serie A Player of the Season 2025/26
Dimarco received the award at the Gran Galà del Calcio in Milan after a season in which he led Serie A with 16 assists.
Federico Dimarco has been named Serie A Player of the Season for 2025/26, receiving the award from the Italian Football Association at the Gran Galà del Calcio ceremony in Milan.
The 28-year-old left-back played a central role in Inter Milan's march to the title last season, combining defensive work with notable attacking output that drew plaudits from his peers.
Players voted to decide the winners
The winners at the Gran Galà del Calcio were decided by direct voting among the league's players, and Dimarco emerged ahead of other candidates after a campaign in which he registered impressive numbers.
In 35 Serie A appearances he scored 7 goals and delivered 16 assists, finishing the season as the league leader in assists — a key factor in Inter Milan reclaiming the Scudetto.
Dimarco’s award underlines how modern full-backs contribute across the pitch: he combined defensive duties with set-piece responsibility and frequent forward incursions that turned defense into chance-creation for his teammates.
The recognition at the Gran Galà del Calcio adds an individual accolade to a campaign that also brought collective success for Inter Milan, and highlights Dimarco’s influence in Italy’s top flight during 2025/26.
