Italy’s elite clubs are strug­gling in the Cham­pi­ons League and have strug­gled since 2000 despite two tro­phies won by Milan and one by Inter in the last decade.

by Niccolo Conte on January 23, 2011 · 0 comments

When Francesco Guidolin left Parma to man­age Udi­nese, I was dis­ap­pointed. Guidolin had united a set of strong indi­vid­u­als, man­ag­ing Parma all the way up to eighth in the table last sea­son. Udi­nese fin­ished 15th this past sea­son, yet Guidolin saw some­thing in the club and decided to join them. After a dis­ap­point­ing start of four […]

Along with AC Milan, Juven­tus have also begun to lose their knack of outscor­ing their oppo­nents, espe­cially notice­able in their 3–0 loss to […]

Federico Macheda Could Play Against Roma

by Niccolo Conte on January 8, 2011 · 0 comments

While one of the biggest moves of the Jan­u­ary trans­fer win­dow hap­pened recently, with Toni going to Juven­tus, there have been plenty of other, qui­eter moves which have gone unmen­tioned. Mostly they are young, aspir­ing Ital­ians join­ing clubs on loan so that they can get some play­ing time to improve. Fed­erico Macheda from Man­ches­ter United […]
