Events

  1. Personality clash with Marcos Curado

    Minor
    Cause
    Their personalities have rubbed against each other for a while now. It played out behind the dressing-room door, away from the cameras.
    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.
  2. He has started to want: His place back

    Mind
  3. Worried by competition from a new signing Andy Diouf

    Moderate
    Cause
    The new arrival has visibly higher ability. The newcomer is on a much larger wage deal.
    Outlook
    Contract request risk increased.
  4. Dropped to the bench as Giovanni Corradini was preferred

    Moderate
    Chosen instead
    Giovanni Corradini was preferred — his higher squad-status priority.
    Cause
    His squad status would normally start, so the omission stings.
    Outlook
    Manager intervention may be required if it persists.
  5. Built a stronger partnership with Gabriele Candido

    Minor
    Cause
    A strong training-ground partnership is behind this. Their reading of training standards diverged.
    Outlook
    Trend is improving — relationship should keep strengthening.
  6. He has started to want: The manager’s trust

    Ventura Leandro
  9. Anxious about his expiring contract

  10. Clashed with Daniele Di Teodoro over training standards

    Minor
    Cause
    The disagreement started because they judged training effort very differently. It played out on the training ground in front of the rest of the squad.
    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.
  11. Signed a new contract

    Moderate
    Cause
    He committed to the project on terms both sides could live with.
  12. Unsettled by the squad wage hierarchy

    Moderate
    Cause
    The squad's wage hierarchy is the underlying issue. The gap to the squad's top earners has become a daily reminder.
    Outlook
    Contract request risk increased.
