Market14 Sep 2026

Marco Da Graca 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 The request is on a desk at Novara, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match12 Sep 2026

Novara refuse to lose to Virtus Verona

A point taken on 88 minutes is worth exactly one point and considerably more than that to a dressing room. This side does not stop, which is a reputation worth more than the result.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Davide Bertoncini

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

Match12 Sep 2026

Honours even between Novara and Virtus Verona

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Marcello Castelli was not hiding it after 1‑1, and nobody in the Novara dressing room was either.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

Novara pick somebody else ahead of Omar Khailoti

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Looking ahead14 Sep 2026

Christian Donadio goes back to face Renate

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Christian Donadio’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Novara needing him to play as if none of it matters.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

The plan did not have a place for Alessandro Citi

Nobody at Novara is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Nobody could get near Roberto Ranieri

Successful dribbles: 10. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market31 Aug 2026

Edoardo Nicolello hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Novara can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Lautaro Di Lollo turns down Novara

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

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Nicolò Ledonne runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Novara rebuffed over Ivan Smolčić

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

Squad31 Aug 2026

Appearance number 100 for Elia Boseggia

100 games in this shirt, through managers and relegations and everything else. Service like it is disappearing from the game and the crowd knows what it is watching.

Match29 Aug 2026

Novara refuse to lose to Dolomiti Bellunesi

A point taken on 89 minutes is worth exactly one point and considerably more than that to a dressing room. This side does not stop, which is a reputation worth more than the result.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Novara ask about Khalis Merah

A loan enquiry to Olympique Lyonnais: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

A loan move for Mateo Pérez Curci is in the works

Novara have made the call to Independiente. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Too much change too quickly at Novara

6 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

In brief
