Matteo di Giusto says St. Gallen 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.

Silvan Akanji steps up from the St. Gallen academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Silvan Akanji 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.

St. Gallen promote Ruben Sommer from within
