Giugliano part company with Interim Coach
The statement thanked him for his efforts and wished him well, in that order and in about that many words. The search begins immediately.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Darko Pranjič
33 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Giugliano lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

A stranger takes charge at Giugliano
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.

Giugliano say no — this time
The offer from Picerno for Giuseppe Borello was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Interim Coach takes charge at Giugliano
“Somebody has to pick the team on Saturday, and this week that is me.” An interim appointment with no promises attached, which is how most of them start.
Transfer targets21 Aug 2028
Fee done, terms next for Marco Bertoli
Giugliano and Ospitaletto have settled on $540.0K. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

Too dear: Giugliano walk away from Daniele Bleve
$310.0K was the most the club would pay and Lecce were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.
Squad21 Aug 2028
The decline has begun for Giuliano Laezza
Everybody saw it before anybody said it. At 34 the numbers say 3 points down on what he was, and the question for Giugliano is how to handle a man they owe a great deal.

5 academy graduates step up at Giugliano
Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.
In brief
