The Pisa Sentinel
Match18 Sep 2027
No end in sight to Pisa's wait for a win
10 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Pisa has to find a result from somewhere.

Jorge Perez: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Pisa have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Gabriele Piccinini wants European nights
The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

The step up is real for Brayan Nzita
At 21 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.

Antonio Caracciolo 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.

Luis Genaro Castillo is not the player he was
It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph a local paper has to write. 34 years old, 3 points down on where he was, and a body that has started charging interest on a career.

Samuele Lenzoni stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Samuele Lenzoni and Pisa agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Antonio Caracciolo 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.

Simone Canestrelli is still being punished for one mistake
Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.
In brief
- The dugout Antonio Caracciolo dropped after a run of poor form
- Player ratings A defender's afternoon for Gabriele Piccinini
- Player ratings A day to forget for Simone Canestrelli
