Antonio Fiori was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 29. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The dugout11 Oct 2027

Nicolás Soria keeps the receipts

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

Squad11 Oct 2027

Francesco Ruocco 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 Mantova this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout11 Oct 2027

No hiding place for Franco Ferrari

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

The dugout11 Oct 2027

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Michele Ranieri was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Mantova dressing room was either.

Match9 Oct 2027

Mantova draw a blank against Pescara

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Pescara defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

The dugout11 Oct 2027

Tommaso Del Lungo has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Mantova will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Looking ahead11 Oct 2027

A reunion for Ettore Gliozzi

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Padova in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

Market11 Oct 2027

The Ettore Gliozzi story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Ettore Gliozzi signs something — a contract at Mantova or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Transfer targets23 Aug 2027

The paperwork begins on Enrico Delprato

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Mantova have done the hard part with Napoli, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Squad23 Aug 2027

The step up is real for Tommaso Marras

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.

Squad23 Aug 2027

Words exchanged at Mantova

Andrea Meroni 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.

Squad23 Aug 2027

A move David Suazo would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. David Suazo is living that version at Mantova, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad23 Aug 2027

Late improvement for Fahem Benaïssa

At 25 the improving is meant to be over, and it is not: 3 points better than a year ago. It happens to the ones who take the boring parts seriously.

Transfer targets23 Aug 2027

Mantova rebuffed over Kian Fitz-Jim

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

Market23 Aug 2027

Mantova promote Silvio Bosco from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Silvio Bosco has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market23 Aug 2027

Marcello Salvatore steps up from the Mantova academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Marcello Salvatore has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market23 Aug 2027

Gerardo Piras steps up from the Mantova academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Gerardo Piras has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Match29 Aug 2026

Altamura let it slip despite Jorthy Mokio

Jorthy Mokio had done his part in building a 2-goal cushion. What happened after that was collective, and Cosenza were allowed back into a match that had been finished with.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Jorthy Mokio scores twice — 7.68

Two goals and a mark of 7.68 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Fabrizio Alastra stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Tomás Galván turns down Altamura

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: River Plate keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Door shut on Dyogo Alves

Altamura asked and Flamengo said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Altamura

Miloš Bočić 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.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Words at Altamura training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Enrico Silletti 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.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Ibrahima Mbaye beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 17. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Altamura count the cost of losing David Suazo

25 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.
