The Villa Dálmine Gazette

Carlos Alberto Otero is out at Villa Dálmine
Four paragraphs on the club website, none of them about football. The board thanked him, wished him well, and had the search under way before the page went up.

The run at home goes on for Villa Dálmine
20 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

A fracture rules Lauro Gamba out for 58 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Villa Dálmine will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Villa Dálmine have nobody left to take training
Not an interim appointment — an institution with an empty coaching office. Somebody unfamiliar will run the sessions this week, and the question of how a club gets into this state is one the board will be asked and will not answer.

Villa Dálmine write off $61.1K on Danilo Monza

Interim Coach steps up at Villa Dálmine for now
“Somebody picks the team on Saturday. This week it is me, and that is as far as I have thought.” No promises were made in either direction, which is how these usually begin.

Lauro Gamba in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Villa Dálmine this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

José Luis Blanco steps up from the Villa Dálmine academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. José Luis Blanco has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
