The Pineto Courier
Market24 Aug 2026
Francesco Marone has said yes to Guidonia Montecelio
The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Pineto have lost him in all but the paperwork.
Squad24 Aug 2026
Words at Pineto training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Filippo D'Andrea is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
Transfer targets24 Aug 2026
Door shut on Tomás Galván
Pineto asked and River Plate said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.
The dugout24 Aug 2026
No hiding place for Tommaso D'Orazio
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Tommaso D'Orazio, and the manager let it.
Squad24 Aug 2026
A falling-out at Pineto
Saad El Haddad and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Transfer targets24 Aug 2026
Pineto ask about Stefano Minelli
A loan enquiry to St. Gallen: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.
Transfer targets24 Aug 2026
A loan move for Edoardo Pieragnolo is in the works
Pineto have made the call to Sassuolo. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.
Boardroom24 Aug 2026
Pineto say no to the training-ground money
The plan went upstairs and came back down. Nothing about that will make a headline anywhere else, and everybody who works at the training ground will remember it for years.
Looking ahead24 Aug 2026
Alessandro Tonti faces his old club
Ravenna next, and one man in the Pineto dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.
In brief
- Looking ahead An away day at Ravenna next for Pineto
- The dugout Niccolò Postiglione keeps his manager's vote
- Squad Enrico Calabrese is fit again
