The Alcione Milano Herald
Boardroom7 Sep 2026
Deadline passes with 18 signed and 2 gone
That is the business done at Alcione Milano until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

A falling-out at Alcione Milano
Mauro Aguirre and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Kevin Bright 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.

Alcione Milano supporters have found a favourite in Federico Agazzi
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Federico Agazzi has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

The form table has caught Massimo Pessina
Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.
Squad7 Sep 2026
Federico Agazzi slips down the pecking order
The demotion a club never announces and a dressing room always notices. Federico Agazzi is further from the side than he was, and the reason will not be given until he asks.

Half-satisfied: Martino Bosco on the draw
“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 0‑0, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.
The dugout7 Sep 2026
Kevin Bright left out for tactical reasons at Alcione Milano
The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.
Match5 Sep 2026
No goals between Alcione Milano and Vicenza
Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Vicenza will be the happier side with the point.
