Boardroom3 Jan 2033

Deportivo Italiano spell it out for Interim Coach

The board’s statement ran to three sentences and one of them mentioned results. Interim Coach has managed long enough to translate: win soon, or the next statement is shorter.

Boardroom3 Jan 2033

Emergency meeting at Deportivo Italiano

The whole football department in one room on a weekday morning. Nothing was announced afterwards, which is what a board announces when it has run out of patience.

Squad3 Jan 2033

Lucas Cajes 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 Deportivo Italiano this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom3 Jan 2033

$110.2K from the owner keeps Deportivo Italiano afloat

The gap in the accounts was filled from upstairs again. Supporters are entitled to be grateful and to ask what happens the month it is not, and both feelings arrive together.

Boardroom3 Jan 2033

Daniel Riquelme will join Deportivo Italiano for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Daniel Riquelme has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Deportivo Italiano have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Transfer targets3 Jan 2033

Door shut on Fernando Pacheco

Deportivo Italiano asked and Juventud said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Transfer targets3 Jan 2033

A loan move for Franco Araujo is in the works

Deportivo Italiano have made the call to Sud America. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Market3 Jan 2033

Deportivo Italiano sign Pedro Amaral, one for the future

Pedro Amaral is 19, and Deportivo Italiano have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Squad3 Jan 2033

Pedro Amaral signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Pedro Amaral and Deportivo Italiano agree another 3 years.

The terraces15 Nov 2032

The mood at Deportivo Italiano has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Match15 Nov 2032

Every point is an argument now for Deportivo Italiano

Position 8 and 13 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Squad15 Nov 2032

Lucas Cajes 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 Deportivo Italiano this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout15 Nov 2032

Lucas Cajes gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad15 Nov 2032

Words at Deportivo Italiano training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Alexander Garces 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.

Market15 Nov 2032

Lucas Cajes linked with a move away

The name of Lucas Cajes keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Deportivo Italiano say nothing, which says plenty.

Boardroom25 Oct 2032

Pressure builds in the Deportivo Italiano boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Squad25 Oct 2032

Tempers go at Deportivo Italiano

Lucas Cajes 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.

The dugout25 Oct 2032

Daniel Biquez knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Deportivo Italiano, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Boardroom12 Jan 2032

The scrutiny sharpens at Deportivo Italiano

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Deportivo Italiano is running low.

Market12 Jan 2032

Kevin Ferraz asks to leave Deportivo Italiano

“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.

Squad12 Jan 2032

André Rocha gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. André Rocha has just signed for Deportivo Italiano, and for once the answer mattered.

Transfer targets12 Jan 2032

Racing tell Deportivo Italiano: Bryan Sánchez 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.

Squad12 Jan 2032

A row about effort at Deportivo Italiano

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Lucas Cajes was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad12 Jan 2032

Tempers go at Deportivo Italiano

Kevin De Arrascaeta 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.

Market12 Jan 2032

A long bet from Deportivo Italiano on Daniel Paz

He is 19, and nobody at Deportivo Italiano signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Market12 Jan 2032

Deportivo Italiano buy the years ahead of André Rocha

He is 19, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Squad12 Jan 2032

Deportivo Italiano are still strangers to each other

6 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.
