Squad31 Aug 2026

Alessandro Fontanarosa damages knee ligaments — 27 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 27 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Armando Izzo, 34, rolls back the years — 7.83

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.83 at 34, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Tomás Galván due for a Avellino medical

Everything agreed with River Plate, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Alphadjo Cissé

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

River Plate tell Avellino: Tomás Galván 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.

Match29 Aug 2026

Avellino see off Virtus Entella

Three points for Avellino, 1‑0 the final word against Virtus Entella in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Tommaso Biasci was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.08. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad31 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Avellino

Raffaele Di Gennaro and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Too much change too quickly at Avellino

11 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Atalanta tell Avellino: Charles De Ketelaere 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.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Romeo Vermant turns down Avellino

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Club Brugge keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Armando Izzo signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Armando Izzo and Avellino agree another 2 years.

The dugout10 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Dimitris Sounas

“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.

Market10 Aug 2026

Nobody at Avellino has picked up the phone to Lorenco Šimić

36 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Sergio López is a square peg at Avellino

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Avellino

Alessandro Di Bitonto and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout10 Aug 2026

Armando Izzo knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Armando Izzo trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market10 Aug 2026

Sergio López brings the grey hairs Avellino lacked

At 37, he has seen every situation this season can produce, twice. The legs will be managed; the head is the purchase.

Market3 Aug 2026

Armando Izzo raises the bar for Avellino

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Avellino heard it as anything else.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tommaso Biasci stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Tommaso Biasci and Avellino agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Walid Cheddira 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 Avellino this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Avellino rebuffed over Sebastián Driussi

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. River Plate have kept their man, and Avellino go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market3 Aug 2026

Nobody at Avellino has picked up the phone to Tommaso Biasci

36 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Avellino ask about Tomás Galván

A loan enquiry to River Plate: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

A loan move for Romeo Vermant is in the works

Avellino have made the call to Club Brugge. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Avellino 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.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Armando Izzo knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Armando Izzo trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
