Joël Schingtienne agrees terms with Arzignano

Edoardo Gastaldello steps up from the Venezia academy

Venezia 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.

Armel Bella-Kotchap still has not settled
A year in and the language has not come, the city has not opened up, and he eats alone more often than anybody at Venezia would like to admit. It is showing on Saturdays.
