“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Trento can pretend not to have heard.

“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.

“The easiest signature of my career.” Amer Mehić and Trento agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
Market1 Nov 2027
“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.
Match30 Oct 2027
It finished 1-1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.
Squad1 Nov 2027
The captaincy has been taken off Michele Rigione. Trento will call it a decision about the team; a dressing room reads it as a verdict on a man.
Back issues

“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.
Match16 Oct 2027
A 2-1 win over Alcione Milano, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
Squad18 Oct 2027
The medical room confirms 39 days on the sidelines for Alessandro Coppola, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Trento, and both men came out saying it was fine.
Market18 Oct 2027
Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Trento know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

6 matches without a win for Trento
The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around Trento are no longer polite ones.

“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.
Match9 Oct 2027
Beaten 0-1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
Squad11 Oct 2027
A defender's mistake gets tidied up by somebody else; a goalkeeper's ends up in the net. He knew before the ball crossed the line, and so did everybody in the ground.

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

15 unbeaten for Trento
Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 15 matches without defeat is a foundation Trento did not have in the autumn.

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Sergio Barlocco: 2 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

14 unbeaten for Trento
Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 14 matches without defeat is a foundation Trento did not have in the autumn.
Match22 Sep 2027
Trento bow out of the cup
Foggia go through and Trento go home, 0-0 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Lumezzane came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Every debut is a small story about the future: Lorenzo Mihali, 21 years old, off the academy pitches and into the first team. The parents in the stand will keep the programme.

3-0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Simone Corazza: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Trento have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.
Match4 Sep 2027
Still nobody has beaten Trento
The unbeaten run reaches 10. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.
Market6 Sep 2027
Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Trento will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

“The easiest signature of my career.” Leonardo Ubaldi and Trento agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The manager makes an example of Leonardo Ubaldi
“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.

Experience through the door at Trento
Stefano Sabelli arrives at 34 with nothing left to prove and plenty left to pass on. Legs are a young man's currency; knowing where to stand never ages.

The name of Christian Aucelli keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Trento say nothing, which says plenty.

The competition arrived without a word said to him about it. Nicola Dalmonte keeps the shirt for now, at Trento's convenience rather than his own.

The fee is $190.0K, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Lecco drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

A new face in his position, and Nicola Dalmonte suddenly has to win back what he thought he owned. Trento have promised nothing — clubs rarely do at this stage.
