The month closes with Andrea Mattioli out in front — 6 goals in 3 games, and Arzignano have the division's most feared finisher.
Scoring charts1 Dec 2026
Marked 8.48 across it, 6 goals and assists between them, and no serious argument from anybody else in the division. Arzignano have had the whole benefit of a month somebody else will spend the summer trying to buy.

The division's brightest kid this month plays for Pergolettese
Gabriele Pessolani was marked 7.30 and had a hand in 2 goals. Every recruitment department in the country now has a file open, and the club that has him knows exactly what that means.

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

3 assists, 7.51, and a Dolomiti Bellunesi player who spent four weekends being the reason somebody else's name went in the paper. It is the least-rewarded skill in football and the easiest one to notice its absence.

Andrea Mattioli is the division's best-marked player — 8.48
The chart that catches everybody a goal tally never will: the centre-half who was immense for four weekends, the holding midfielder nobody outside his own ground has heard of. 8.48 across 3 matches for Arzignano.

Stefano Gori wants to know where this is going
“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Union Brescia hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

4 appearances, 4 goals, and a place among the division's leading scorers for the month. Strikers measure a season in exactly these lines.

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Alberto Spagnoli signs something — a contract at Union Brescia or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Nobody in the division bettered it last month: 7 goals in 5 appearances for Renate.

Marked 8.11 across it, 7 goals and assists between them, and no serious argument from anybody else in the division. Renate have had the whole benefit of a month somebody else will spend the summer trying to buy.

The division's brightest kid this month plays for Renate
Lorenzo De Leo was marked 8.11 and had a hand in 7 goals. Every recruitment department in the country now has a file open, and the club that has him knows exactly what that means.

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at AlbinoLeffe, and it is not being withdrawn.

Joseph Ekuban leads the division for assists — 7.51
The chart that decides who the scorers ought to be thanking. 8 of them made by a Renate player marked 7.51, and not one will be in the montage at the end of the season.
Scoring charts1 Nov 2026
A productive month at Pergolettese — 5 goals from 5 appearances, and a place near the top of the charts.

6 in 4 for Triestina. Nobody outside his own ground is talking about him, which tends to be true of everybody on this list except the man at the top of it.

4 appearances at that mark for Lumezzane. The team of the month is chosen against every player in the division who does his job, which makes it a quieter compliment than an award and a harder one to dispute.

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Manuel Marras’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

The month closes with Juan Manuel Cruz out in front — 6 goals in 4 games, and Trento have the division's most feared finisher.

Mattia Iori is the division's player of the month — 7.79
A club's paper reports this as one of its own being honoured. On this page it is what it actually is: a verdict on everybody who played, and it went to a Lumezzane man on 7.79 with 4 goal contributions.

Luigi Samele hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Giana Erminio can pretend not to have heard.

Michele Ambrosini leads the division for assists — 7.41

Highest marks in the league belong to a Trento man
Juan Manuel Cruz averaged 8.01 over 4 appearances. Nothing about that will trend, and anybody who watched all four games would tell you it was the most accurate thing on this page.

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Cittadella hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. Vicenza moved on, Joaquin Dalmasso reports back to Lecco, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Lorenzo Lancellotti will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Pro Vercelli the goodbyes have quietly begun.

The offer from Vicenza for Mattia Zennaro was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Nobody made more than Michael Fabbro this month
2 assists, 8.31, and a Virtus Verona player who spent four weekends being the reason somebody else's name went in the paper. It is the least-rewarded skill in football and the easiest one to notice its absence.

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Leonardo D'Alessio reports back to Novara with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Simone Rabbi: 2 assists this month — 8.19
Next on a chart nobody frames. 8.19 for a Cittadella player whose month is measured in other people's goals.

Mattia Tordini keeps making them — 2 this month
7.95 for a Alcione Milano player whose contribution is measured entirely in other people's celebrations. The providers' chart is the one nobody frames and everybody in a dressing room reads.

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

The clock runs on Riccardo Gagno's contract
11 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.
