The Arezzo Courier
Squad16 Apr 2029
A fracture rules Mauro Coppolaro out for 80 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Arezzo will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.
Match16 Apr 2029
Arezzo finish in position 10
44 points, and the season has a number on it. Whatever it felt like from the inside, this is what it will look like in a book.
Match14 Apr 2029
No end in sight to Arezzo's wait for a win
4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Arezzo has to find a result from somewhere.

A falling-out at Arezzo
Leonardo Mancuso and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Nobody could get near Alessandro Arena
Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Alessandro Arena 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.

Giacomo Venturi reaches 25 shut-outs
25 games in 458 appearances where nobody scored at all. A keeper's career is counted in nothing happening, and none of this happened by accident.

The team sheet said everything about Thomas Campaniello
Warm-up bib, ninety minutes of watching, and a handshake at the end that fooled nobody. Big matches tell you who a manager trusts; this one told Thomas Campaniello.

The manager’s verdict
“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Pietro Martini was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Arezzo dressing room was either.
In brief
- Market No place for Jack McEvilly in the plan
- The dugout No hiding place for Francesco Molica
- The dugout Leonardo Mancuso does not fit this one
