Filippo Tripi asks to leave Ternana

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Federico Viviani has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Ternana they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Bruno Martella 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.

Tempers go at Ternana

César Falletti 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Mattia Proietti

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The Cristian Cama story refuses to die

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

Nicolò Baldo gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Nicolò Baldo is on it.

Squad
