“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.

Lecco turn down Port Vale for Andrea Maran
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Claudio Colletti steps up from the Lecco academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Claudio Colletti has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Lukas Sinn gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
In brief
- Boardroom No investment in the facilities at Lecco
- Looking ahead Giuseppe Battimelli goes back to face Alcione Milano
- The dugout Filippo Monguzzi gets picked when it counts
