Lukas Kostner damages knee ligaments — 20 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 20 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market28 Jun 2027

Terms done: Fabian Tait is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Dolomiti Bellunesi waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Südtirol is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Market28 Jun 2027

Fabian Tait asks to leave Südtirol

“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.

Squad28 Jun 2027

The step up is real for Fabio Rispoli

At 20 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.

Only the photograph left for Luis Buzi

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Luis Buzi will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Südtirol the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad28 Jun 2027

A falling-out at Südtirol

Salvatore Molina and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad28 Jun 2027

A late step up for Aljoša Vasić

At 25 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Market28 Jun 2027

Eyes on Gabriele Platto again

The phone has started ringing about Gabriele Platto again, and this time the name on the line is Monza. Südtirol are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad21 Jun 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Lukas Kostner

27 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Südtirol lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

The terraces21 Jun 2027

Supporters organise against the Südtirol board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Market21 Jun 2027

Alessio Cragno says no to Ludogorets

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Alessio Cragno had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Market21 Jun 2027

Luis Buzi 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 Südtirol can pretend not to have heard.

Squad21 Jun 2027

Words exchanged at Südtirol

Salvatore Molina and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad21 Jun 2027

Real improvement from Luis Buzi at Südtirol

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Luis Buzi is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Transfer targets21 Jun 2027

No deal for Domenico Lamberti at that price

Südtirol offered $250.0K; Cavese said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Squad21 Jun 2027

Late improvement for Andrea Giorgini

At 25 the improving is meant to be over, and it is not: 3 points better than a year ago. It happens to the ones who take the boring parts seriously.

Boardroom21 Jun 2027

Südtirol beat the market to Filippo Tani from Livorno

Livorno will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Filippo Tani has pre-agreed a move to Südtirol, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Lukas Kostner

35 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Südtirol lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market14 Jun 2027

Domen Črnigoj 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 Südtirol, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout14 Jun 2027

Domen Črnigoj keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Südtirol may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Transfer targets14 Jun 2027

The paperwork begins on Alexander Zenti

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Südtirol have done the hard part with Giana Erminio, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Squad14 Jun 2027

Tempers go at Südtirol

Salvatore Molina 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.

Squad14 Jun 2027

A row about effort at Südtirol

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Simone Davi was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Boardroom14 Jun 2027

Andrea Vailati will join Südtirol for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Andrea Vailati has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Südtirol have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Squad14 Jun 2027

Federico Davi signs on for more

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

The dugout14 Jun 2027

Fabian Tait knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Fabian Tait trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
