Market6 Nov 2028

Ramiro Giannone has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Magallanes they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad6 Nov 2028

Tempers go at Magallanes

Carlos Ross was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad6 Nov 2028

Carlos Ross is slowing down

At 37, 3 points below where he was, and a body that has started charging interest. It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph on this page.

Boardroom6 Nov 2028

Belts tighten at Magallanes

The accounts are being read more closely than the results. Wages before ambition is the order of business now, and the manager has been told so.

Squad6 Nov 2028

Words at Magallanes training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Diego Fernández 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.

Squad6 Nov 2028

Magallanes lose Gary Mena

24 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

The dugout6 Nov 2028

The manager makes an example of Leandro Ruiz

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout6 Nov 2028

Santiago D'abarno is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

The dugout6 Nov 2028

Emiliano Ramos has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Magallanes will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The dugout9 Oct 2028

Emiliano Ramos says Magallanes went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market9 Oct 2028

Ramiro Giannone is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Magallanes is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad9 Oct 2028

Diego Fernández falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad9 Oct 2028

Magallanes count the cost of losing Gary Mena

55 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Market9 Oct 2028

Ramiro Giannone told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Ramiro Giannone has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Magallanes.

The dugout9 Oct 2028

Santiago D'abarno is still paying for one afternoon at Magallanes

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.
