Rigore! - The Italian Football Podcast

Nicola's arrival in Venice brings the most unexpected of wins, while Fiorentina's troubles only deepen - will the relegation battle be a Rigore! pod shootout this season? Plus, we talk about the emergence of promising young Italian strikers! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We return after the international break to discuss Italy's performances (reasons to be hopeful) and discuss the return of Serie A and Fiorentina's defeat to Genoa (reasons to be despondent).

This episode was recorded before Venezia's loss to Atalanta (and Stroppa's sacking) so Marco isn't as miserable as he could have been...

After a week's hiatus to allow Marco to recover from losing the Rigore! derby, we are back and things are going from bad to worse for Venezia, who sit dead last in Serie A with zero points... Things have improved somewhat for Fiorentina since the appointment of Vanoli however. At the top, Inter, Roma and Lazio are setting the early pace, while Cagliari and Frosinone are the surprise packages. Plus, we discuss Mancini's first Italy squad since his reappointment.

No reprieve from the misery this week as both Venezia and Fiorentina continue their poor starts - but it must all change next week when they face each other at the Penzo! At the other end of the table, things are hotting up and though it is early days, it looks like there could be a 4 or 5 way battle for the Scudetto!

NOTE - we recorded this before Grosso's sacking, so we will address that in the next pod!
