Abstract: Let $mathbbF$ be the finite field of order $q^2$, $q=p^h$ with $p$ prime. It is commonly atribute to J.P. Serre the fact that any curve $mathbbF$-covered by the Hermitian curve $mathcal{H}_{q+1}:,y^{q+1}=x^q+x$ is also $mathbbF$-maximal. Nevertheless, the converse is not true as the Giulietti-Korchm'aros example shows provided that $q>8$ and $hequiv0pmod3$. In this paper, we show that if an $mathbbF$-maximal curve $mathcalX$ of genus $ggeq2$ where $q=p$ is such that $|Aut(mathcalX)|>84(g-1)$ then $mathcalX$ is Galois-covered by $mathcal{H}_{p+1}$. Also, we show that the hypothesis on the order of $Aut(mathcalX)$ is sharp, since there exists an $mathbbF$-maximal curve $mathcalX$ for $q=71$ of genus $g=7$ with $|Aut(mathcalX)|=84(7-1)$ which is not Galois-covered by the Hermitian curve $mathcal{H}_{72}$.
