The draw for the 2015/16 Coppa Italia has been announced with some interesting potential fixtures.

The First Round is on 2nd August, involving Lega Pro and Serie D sides, then Serie B teams enter in the Second Round on 9th August.

The sides who finished from 9th-20th least season in Serie A come into the competition in the Third Round on 15th August, which this season includes AC Milan.

Last season Juventus beat Lazio 2-1 in the final after the extra time, but they will not be a repeat of the 2014/15 final this season with the two sides on course to meet each other in the quarter finals.

We could, however, see either a Rome or Milan derby in the final with Inter and Lazio drawn on one side of the draw and Roma and Milan in the other half.

There is also the potential for a Turin derby in the round of 16 and a Napoli vs Inter quarter final.
