No thanks: Nick Homan rejects the move
Casertana had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at AZ, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Accursio Bentivegna stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Accursio Bentivegna and Casertana agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

A falling-out at Casertana
Shady Oukhadda and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Jacopo Graziani steps up from the Casertana academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Jacopo Graziani 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.

Casertana promote Stefano Costantini from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Stefano Costantini has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Claudio Donadoni 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.

One of our own: Paolo Lombardo joins the Casertana first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Paolo Lombardo is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

No hiding place for Salvatore Pezzella
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Salvatore Pezzella, and the manager let it.

No place for Santiago Krieger in the new shape
He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Casertana are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.
