Squad

Riccardo Brosco signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Riccardo Brosco commits to Foggia for another 1 years.

A falling-out at Foggia

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

Transfer targets

Foggia rebuffed over Salvatore Elia

Transfer targets

Foggia ask about Reda Belahyane

The dugout

Riccardo Brosco 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 Riccardo Brosco trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

In brief
