The caretaker keeps it: Interim Coach confirmed
A month of looking elsewhere ended where it started. He already knows every name in the building; the rest of it he now has to prove in public.

Siracusa taken apart
1‑4 to Cosenza, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

No place for Filippo Damian in the plan
“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Filippo Damian has his answer from Siracusa; what he does with it is the next window’s story.
In brief
