Match

14 matches without a win for Südtirol

The run now stands at 14, and the questions being asked around Südtirol are no longer polite ones.

Match

Südtirol sink to position 20

28 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Boardroom

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Südtirol

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Squad

Matteo Piazza says Südtirol went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market

Nathan Fisher 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.

Squad

At 21, İsak Vural is already the best thing here

An average of 7.19 in a first team he is several years too young for. Südtirol have something, and by now the whole division has noticed.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Alessio Cragno

“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.

Match

Südtirol share the spoils with Monza

A 2-2 draw with Monza leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Market

Gabriele Platto linked with a move away

The name of Gabriele Platto keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Südtirol say nothing, which says plenty.

Market

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.

Squad

Manuel Tirelli says Südtirol went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market

Hamza El Kaouakibi has one foot out of the door

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

Match

Südtirol come up short against Virtus Entella

Virtus Entella left with the points after a 1-3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Loan watch

Renato Halili has seen enough of Sorrento

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Südtirol, and 1 appearances in 17 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Simone Verdi

“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.

Market

Nathan Fisher 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.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Alessio Cragno

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match

Südtirol get the job done against Carrarese

A 2-1 win over Carrarese, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
