Market3 Sep 2029

Giovanni Gabriele Garofani has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Carrarese they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Boardroom3 Sep 2029

Window shuts: 11 in, 7 out at Carrarese

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 11 arrived, 7 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Squad3 Sep 2029

Words exchanged at Carrarese

Marouane Calame and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match1 Sep 2029

The drought breaks for Carrarese

6 without a win is the sort of run that changes how a town talks about its club, and Südtirol were the afternoon it stopped. Nothing is fixed by one result and everything feels different by one.

Squad3 Sep 2029

A row about effort at Carrarese

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Matteo Carbone was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets3 Sep 2029

Carrarese rebuffed over Arman Durmiši

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Juventus have kept their man, and Carrarese go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The terraces3 Sep 2029

Carrarese supporters have found a favourite in Marouane Calame

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Marouane Calame 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.

Transfer targets3 Sep 2029

The window shuts on the Samuele Lerco deal

Carrarese ran out of time with Virtus Verona. The paperwork was open when the deadline passed, and a transfer that was almost done is now a transfer that never happened.

Match1 Sep 2029

Marouane Calame sends Carrarese past Südtirol

It finished 1‑0, and it was Marouane Calame’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Carrarese.

Squad24 Jul 2028

The step up is real for Fabio Andrea Ruggeri

At 23 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad24 Jul 2028

Filippo Melegoni has improved at 29, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Squad24 Jul 2028

Matteo Carbone 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 Carrarese this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad24 Jul 2028

A row about effort at Carrarese

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Nicolás Schiavi was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout24 Jul 2028

Tommaso Mancioppi gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout24 Jul 2028

A door opens for Nicolás Schiavi

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

Boardroom5 Jun 2028

Carrarese run out of patience with Interim Coach

The end came on a Tuesday, as these things usually do: a short meeting, a shorter statement, and Interim Coach clearing his office by noon. Football’s cruellest ritual, performed to schedule.

Squad5 Jun 2028

A fracture rules Nicolás Schiavi out for 40 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Carrarese will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Boardroom5 Jun 2028

Carrarese have nobody left to take training

Not an interim appointment — an institution with an empty coaching office. Somebody unfamiliar will run the sessions this week, and the question of how a club gets into this state is one the board will be asked and will not answer.

Market5 Jun 2028

Federico Accornero 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 Carrarese, and it is not being withdrawn.

Boardroom5 Jun 2028

Interim Coach minds the shop at Carrarese

“I am not thinking past Saturday, and I would advise nobody else to.” The caretaker’s first rule is to pretend the job is small; Interim Coach recited it perfectly.

The dugout5 Jun 2028

Matteo Scanzi keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Carrarese may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad5 Jun 2028

Andrea Lantignotti arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Andrea Lantignotti has, at Carrarese, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Transfer targets5 Jun 2028

Carrarese bid $1.1M for Kevin Moressa

The offer went to Inter this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Squad5 Jun 2028

Words at Carrarese training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Simone Zanon 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.

The drought breaks for Carrarese

10 without a win is the sort of run that changes how a town talks about its club, and Pescara were the afternoon it stopped. Nothing is fixed by one result and everything feels different by one.

Match20 Nov 2027

Carrarese see off Pescara

Three points for Carrarese, 1‑0 the final word against Pescara in a contest settled by the finer margins.

The dugout22 Nov 2027

Matteo Scanzi gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings22 Nov 2027

Filippo Melegoni was the difference for Carrarese

Marked 7.65. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

The dugout22 Nov 2027

Cesare Ferri has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Cesare Ferri on a 1‑0 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.

The dugout22 Nov 2027

Cristian Ibáñez does not fit this one

Ninety specific minutes wanted a different sort of player, and the manager picked one. He is not out of form and he is not in the side, and both are true.
