The Forli Post

20 Aug 2029
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Esteban Paredes 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 Forli can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Tempers go at Forli

Nikolas Giallouros 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.

Squad

Esteban Paredes out for 27 days

The medical room confirms 27 days on the sidelines for Esteban Paredes, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

The Forli Post

29 Jan 2029
From our football correspondent Crisis

Market

Taha Zidouh asks to leave Forli

“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.

Market

Carlo De Risio has one foot out of the door

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

Squad

Forli count the cost of losing Davis Mensah

74 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

Tempers go at Forli

Nikolas Giallouros 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.

Match

Forli come up short against Perugia

Perugia left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

No hiding place for Diego Rossi

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

Market

Forli buy the years ahead of Matteo Izzo

He is 20, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Squad

Matteo Izzo signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Matteo Izzo and Forli agree another 3 years.

The terraces

The spotlight tightens on Eljon Toci

Every touch is being weighed now, in print and everywhere else. Some players grow into that and some are quietly ruined by it, and nobody knows which in advance.

The Triestina Post

17 Jul 2028
From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

Jacopo Sala: 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.” Triestina have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Mattia Tonetto 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 Triestina can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Tempers go at Triestina

Kristjan Matošević 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.
