Boardroom6 Aug 2040

the manager is out at Avellino

Four paragraphs on the club website, none of them about football. The board thanked him, wished him well, and had the search under way before the page went up.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Claudio Manzi

96 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Avellino lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Boardroom6 Aug 2040

A stranger takes charge at Avellino

The coaching staff has emptied out entirely and there was nobody internal to promote, so the club has appointed a name almost none of its supporters will recognise. Clubs recover from this; none of them enjoy explaining it.

Boardroom6 Aug 2040

Crisis meeting at Avellino

The official line will be that it was routine. It was not routine, the timing says so, and every person in that room knows what the next bad result costs.

Squad6 Aug 2040

15 seasons of Francesco Maisto

531 appearances across 15 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Avellino know what they have.

Interim Coach steps up at Avellino for now

“Somebody picks the team on Saturday. This week it is me, and that is as far as I have thought.” No promises were made in either direction, which is how these usually begin.

“The easiest signature of my career.” Dorian Paloschi and Avellino agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Real improvement from Fabrizio Colletti at Avellino

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Fabrizio Colletti is 20, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

No place for Fabrizio Testa in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Fabrizio Testa has his answer from Avellino; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Dorian Paloschi

59 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Avellino lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Dorian Paloschi in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Avellino this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Only the photograph left for Marco Scalise

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Marco Scalise will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Avellino the goodbyes have quietly begun.
