Squad14 Sep 2026

Vito Leonetti breaks a bone — 77 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 77 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Philipp Hoffmann 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 Casarano this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Ahmed Azaouagh 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.

Nobody could get near Flavio Di Dio

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad14 Sep 2026

7 new faces, and Casarano are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Market14 Sep 2026

Casarano buy the years ahead of Carlo Fontana

He is 14, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Squad7 Sep 2026

A fracture rules Vito Leonetti out for 87 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Casarano will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Casarano

Aïssa Mandi 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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Words at Casarano training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ahmed Azaouagh 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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Mario Mercadante

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Mario Mercadante, and the manager let it.

Nobody could get near Philipp Hoffmann

Successful dribbles: 13. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match5 Sep 2026

Casarano draw a blank against Altamura

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Altamura defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

A fracture rules Vito Leonetti out for 96 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Casarano will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Giovanni Pinto is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Casarano has been clear about where Giovanni Pinto stands, which is more than many ever get.

Vito Leonetti breaks a bone — 104 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 104 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad3 Aug 2026

A move Francesco Sartori would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Francesco Sartori is living that version at Casarano, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Raffaele Maiello stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Raffaele Maiello and Casarano agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Tempers go at Casarano

Niccolò Chiorra 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.

Ismael Cajazzo 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.

Market3 Aug 2026

Casarano and Daniele Celiento are talking past each other

“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.

Market3 Aug 2026

24 months and counting on Vito Leonetti

Still no offer on the table, and Vito Leonetti’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.
