Squad

Jacopo Scaccabarozzi damages knee ligaments — 108 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 108 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market

Elia Petrelli sold, and an era ends

$930.0K from Catanzaro for Elia Petrelli. Money is money, but the dressing room has lost the man it looked to.

Boardroom

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Forli

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Market

Diego Rossi 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 The request is on a desk at Forli, and it is not being withdrawn.

The terraces

Forli sell a favourite for $930.0K

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Elia Petrelli was one of the reasons people came, and $930.0K does not replace that by itself.

Squad

Artem Korneev gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Artem Korneev has just signed for Forli, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad

Michele Trombetta signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Michele Trombetta commits to Forli for another 2 years.

Squad

Jacopo Scaccabarozzi 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 Forli this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

A long bet from Forli on Stefano Maiorana

He is 20, and nobody at Forli signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

The Novara Gazette

14 Sep 2026
From our football correspondent Upbeat

The terraces

The ground has had enough

“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 7 of the 28 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.

Squad

Elia Boseggia 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 Novara this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Novara come up short against Virtus Verona

Virtus Verona left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Eric Lanini 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.

Squad

Marco Da Graca 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

Roberto Ranieri dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Player ratings

Thomas Alberti keeps on missing

Shots: 5, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.

Player ratings

Nicolò Ledonne keeps on missing

Shots: 5, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.

Market

Elia Boseggia linked with a move away

The name of Elia Boseggia keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Novara say nothing, which says plenty.
