Salernitana make home a hard place to visit
17 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Words at Salernitana training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Paolo Ghiglione 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.

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

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Salernitana this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Squad11 Dec 2028
Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.
Boardroom11 Dec 2028
Wages eat 85% of everything Salernitana earn
There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.
Match9 Dec 2028
Point won or two lost for Salernitana?
Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Benevento? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.
Market11 Dec 2028
The Ismail Achik talk will not go away
Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Salernitana know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Triumph
Match28 Oct 2028
The run at home goes on for Salernitana
14 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.
Player ratings30 Oct 2028
Christian Petraglia, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 8.03
A mark of 8.03 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.
Match28 Oct 2028
Nobody wants to play Salernitana right now

Paolo Ghiglione 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.

Nicolò Troiani is a better footballer than he was
