Livorno run out of patience with Giovanni Ricci
The end came on a Tuesday, as these things usually do: a short meeting, a shorter statement, and Giovanni Ricci clearing his office by noon. Football’s cruellest ritual, performed to schedule.

48 days out for Kevin Dalipi after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Livorno will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Massimo Andreoli takes charge at Livorno
“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.

Sekou Sonko is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Livorno is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Samuele Regazzetti asks to leave Livorno
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.
Transfer targets21 Aug 2028
Livorno make their move for Diego Cinetti
$85.0K on the table at Mantova. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

5 academy graduates step up at Livorno
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.

Cremonese tell Livorno: Federico Agazzi is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Livorno promote Mattia Gallo from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Mattia Gallo 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.
