A loan move for Branimir Mlačić is in the works
Triestina have made the call to Udinese. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

A new face in his position, and Lorenzo Di Livio suddenly has to win back what he thought he owned. Triestina have promised nothing — clubs rarely do at this stage.

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.

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Paolo Silvestri has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Kristjan Matošević and Triestina agree another 4 years.
