Vintage Massimo Coda — 8.10

At 38 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.10, and nobody on the pitch better.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Fabrizio Caligara 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.

Player ratings21 Dec 2026

Marco Perrotta shuts the door

Defensive actions: 20, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Match19 Dec 2026

Catania find a way past Cosenza

Cosenza made Catania work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Match15 Dec 2026

A bad afternoon for Catania against Salernitana

0‑1 to Salernitana, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings21 Dec 2026

Nobody could get near Tommaso Di Marco

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

Catania pick somebody else ahead of Roberto Insigne

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

A satisfied Umberto De Santis

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 1‑0, Umberto De Santis could afford to be generous.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

The manager makes an example of Andrea Dini

“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.

Match9 Dec 2026

The cup run ends for Catania

0‑1 against Inter, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Andrea Dini keeps Catania in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market14 Dec 2026

Manuel Martic is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Catania is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Player ratings14 Dec 2026

Roberto Insigne beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 20. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The dugout14 Dec 2026

No hiding place for Fabrizio Caligara

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

Match12 Dec 2026

A bad afternoon for Catania against Benevento

0‑1 to Benevento, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout14 Dec 2026

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑1 defeat, delivered by Umberto De Santis to a room that had heard them before.

The dugout14 Dec 2026

Tommaso Di Marco gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Tommaso Di Marco is on it.

The dugout14 Dec 2026

Massimo Coda left out for tactical reasons at Catania

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

In brief
