The Altamura Herald

Alessio Curcio breaks a bone — 137 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 137 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Nobody could get near Michele Grande
Successful dribbles: 32. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Tempers go at Altamura
Nicola Dipinto 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.

Alberto Spina’s move to Pontedera falls through
The deal that would have taken Alberto Spina to Pontedera has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Altamura with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. George Brown is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Too much change too quickly at Altamura
5 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Ibrahima Mbaye was the difference for Altamura
Marked 7.18. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.
Match5 Sep 2026
No goals between Altamura and Casarano
Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Casarano will be the happier side with the point.

Altamura bring in Modou Faal on loan
A season-long audition: Wrexham still own him, but the shirt and the minutes are Altamura's to give. A loan is a bet both clubs believe they are winning.
In brief
- Market Window shut, Vittorio Agostinelli still here
