Market

Eyes on Oumar Diouf again

The phone has started ringing about Oumar Diouf again, and this time the name on the line is NEC. Sint-Truiden are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

Ebbe De Vlaeminck is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 21 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Ryotaro Ito in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Sint-Truiden this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The Lecce Sentinel

1 Feb 2027
From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

11 matches without a win for Lecce

The run now stands at 11, and the questions being asked around Lecce are no longer polite ones.

Boardroom

Pressure builds in the Lecce boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

The terraces

The mood at Lecce has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Market

Giuseppe Leone puts it in writing

“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 The request is on a desk at Lecce, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Eyes on Nikola Štulić again

The phone has started ringing about Nikola Štulić again, and this time the name on the line is Shakhtar. Lecce are listening politely and promising nothing.

Market

Only the photograph left for Pasquale Esposito

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Pasquale Esposito will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Lecce the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Riccardo Sottil in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Lecce this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Kialonda Gaspar 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.

Squad

No hiding place for Giuseppe Leone

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Giuseppe Leone, and the manager let it.
