Marked for Michael Venturi

Market18 Jan 2027

Andrea Favilli has said yes to Casa Pia

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Avellino have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Match16 Jan 2027

No end in sight to Avellino's wait for a win

7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Avellino has to find a result from somewhere.

The dugout18 Jan 2027

Michael Venturi says Avellino went back on their word

“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.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Words exchanged at Avellino

Armando Izzo and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Player ratings18 Jan 2027

Emanuele Adamo runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Lorenco Šimić 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.

Transfer targets18 Jan 2027

Avellino rebuffed over Nikita Contini

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

Match16 Jan 2027

Südtirol take the points off Avellino

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Match16 Jan 2027

Gennaro Tutino answers Südtirol immediately

Conceding is one thing; the response is what tells you about a dressing room. Gennaro Tutino had Avellino level again within 2 minutes, and Südtirol never got to play with a lead at all.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Romano Floriani Mussolini 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.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Words at Avellino training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Lorenco Šimić 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.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

Salvatore Burrai gets it from the manager

“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.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Marco Sala did the work nobody counts — 7.31

9 combined actions and 7.31. The job he did is the one that shows up as other people looking good, and the only reliable way to notice it is to watch what happens on the afternoons he is missing.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Tommaso Biasci runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

Ruggero Gentile on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Ruggero Gentile after the 0‑0 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Nothing got past Michael Venturi

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 13 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Match12 Sep 2026

Avellino draw a blank against Mantova

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

Looking ahead14 Sep 2026

Walid Cheddira goes back to face Frosinone

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Walid Cheddira’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Avellino needing him to play as if none of it matters.
