The Cesena Chronicle
Market7 Sep 2026
Sassuolo come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Cesena did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Jonathan Klinsmann keeps Cesena in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Michele Castagnetti falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Tempers go at Cesena
Giovanni Zaro was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
Match5 Sep 2026
Spezia take the points off Cesena
Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
Squad7 Sep 2026
No hiding place for Giuliano
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Giuliano, and the manager let it.

One moment undoes Gaetano Castrovilli
There was one mistake and it ended in the net. Defenders are judged on the worst thing they did rather than on the eighty-nine minutes either side of it, which is unfair and is also the job.

Cesena counting the cost
The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at Cesena now.

Riccardo Ciervo runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 12. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
In brief
- Market Bueno joins Cesena on a free
- Market Filippo Galvagno linked with a move away
